Your Eyes Won't Let Me Sleep
The days I spend with you are like a tape I play, rewind, play, rewind, and play. Could I but have you for my love, I would take you for my own...When you're away I miss you so..My heart is full of sand. Yet when you're here my stupid fear Won't let me touch your hand...
I cannot sleep, I cannot eat, I'm so wrapped up in you. My thoughts drift up, away from words, And fade into the blue. But there are things I feel the need to say Rather than more days of silence kept. I hope for you it's not too great a leap To hear me talking to you in this way.
My fears sometimes my sentiments betray, Telling me to put my thoughts to sleep. Ever since we met I've thought of you. You seem so lovely, like a melody That haunts me with the wisp of something true. You haunt me still, and so I won't pretend. We walk together well, the best of friends. Somehow we just fit, as if clean cut To go together, zigzags complementary.
To me you're an extraordinary friend: You've transformed who I am, my being's core. I would not for my life want this to end, Although I want to love you physically,Your wishes will command me, once I know. I must speak now, whatever you may do; I do not want to lose a gift like you.
