Before You Wake

# **Before You Wake** **Verse 1** Let me kiss the air you're breathing, While the night still calls you mine. Hold this fragile kind of feeling, Freeze this little piece of time. Morning's waiting by the window, With a suitcase made of light. If I could steal another heartbeat, I'd keep you here one more tonight. **Pre-Chorus** Every second slips away, Like water through my hands. If love could bend the dawn, I'd never let it end. **Chorus** **Before you wake... stay with me.** Just one more dream, just one more heartbeat. **Before you leave... remember me,** Like moonlight dancing on the sea. If morning takes you far away, My soul will still know where you'll be. **Before you wake... stay with me.** **Verse 2** I pull the curtains close around us, Hide the sunlight from your eyes. Whisper little prayers in silence, Begging time to lose its flight. I trace the shadow of your smile, Every breath becomes a song. If forever fits inside a moment, Maybe we've been there all along. **Pre-Chorus** Every heartbeat fades to blue, But yours still echoes mine. If I could stop the earth, I'd pause the hands of time. **Chorus** **Before you wake... stay with me.** Just one more dream, just one more heartbeat. **Before you leave... remember me,** Like moonlight dancing on the sea. If morning takes you far away, My soul will still know where you'll be. **Before you wake... stay with me.** **Bridge** Some loves are never meant for keeping, Only borrowed from the stars. Still I'd choose this single morning Over lifetimes spent apart. You're the sky I'll never hold, Yet every time I close my eyes, You're the light that never dies. **Final Chorus** **Before you wake... stay with me.** Even if it's only in a memory. **Before you leave... carry me,** Somewhere inside your quiet dreams. If loving means I'll let you fly, Then let my heart become your wings. **Before you wake...** I'll love you... **Before you wake.**
