As you sleep

The real world seems miles away
Beside you, as you sleep
The sound of your breath drawing in
And the sigh that seems so deep

I have never felt so secure
And warm, and safe, and loved
I never knew you were the one
That I'd been dreaming of

My Knight in shining armour
In my dreams since I was small
Was rich and full of confidence
Not like you at all

But you have shown me sides of ME
I didn't know I had
You've made the darkest corners
Not seem quite so bad

I hope you get strength from me
Like I get strength from you
I want to make you happy
With everything I do

And as I lay down next to you
And close me eyes to sleep
I hope you know how much I care
And need your love to keep
