While She Sleeps

If I cross my fingers and shut my eyes
Will the smile I see on your face stay there forever?
It’s so beautiful and makes me cry
Don’t want to change the angle of your mouth, now or ever

And yes I know it’s all about her
And the way your feeling really isn’t mine to keep
But if I sit close enough to you, I might steal a little ray of light
While she sleeps

And I know your heart grows bigger each time she looks your way
And even though you don’t love me it doesn’t matter
’Cause I get to stay here just a bit longer
Being close to you I can’t pretend my hold on you is stronger

While she sleeps you’re with me
While she sleeps you’re with me
While she sleeps

I know there would come the time when you will move on and
You won’t need me here as your good friend
But you’ve been with me for so long now I’m not sure how
I’m going to be alone when you’re gone

And yes I know it’s all about her
And the way your feeling really isn’t mine to keep
But if I sit close enough to you, I might steal a little ray of light
While she sleeps

And I know your heart grows bigger each time she looks your way
And even though you don’t love me it doesn’t matter
’Cause I get to stay here just a bit longer
Being close to you I can’t pretend my hold on you is stronger

While she sleeps you’re with me
While she sleeps you’re with me
While she sleeps
