The breeze and the curtains are doing their slow dance
Darkness descends on the big world outside
You're lying beside me and I watch your breathing
Your eyelids, the face that I know
I can't fall asleep when I'm by your side
But I don't want to wake up alone
The quiet of nighttime is our tiny haven
From the noise of the street and the cares of the day
I want to protect you from all the world's troubles
With shelter in my loving arms
I can't fall asleep when I'm by your side
But I don't want to wake up alone
I see you in springtime, the May that I met you
I see you in winter, the end of our days
I kiss you softly, you smile in your slumber
It's summer and I'm by your side
I can't fall asleep when I'm by your side
But I don't want to wake up alone
No, I don't want to wake up alone
