AIRING - WHILE YOU SLEPT Lyrics

While you slept, I found you perfect
The curve of your lips, your gentle skin
Tiny hands and little feet,Precious ears, so small, so sweet
And the rise and fall of your belly breathing in

While you slept, I learned your motion
Restless moves, just seeking closeness
Like you did within the womb,Searching for a body's room
Wrapped in love, in warmth, in boundless oceans

And I fell for you more every night
When your hand would find my heart just right
Your peaceful touch would heal the time
I lost you in the busy daylight
While you slept, I found my light

Each birthday marked the day you came
Turned my world around, set hearts aflame
While you slept, I realized clear
You teach me more with every year
Healing parts of me I thought would never change

And I fell for you more every night
When your hand would find my heart just right
Your peaceful touch would heal the time
I lost you in the busy daylight
While you slept, I found my light

While you slept last night, I knew
Your wings are wide, you're flying through
And here I stand, both proud and scared
Wishing just to watch you there
While you sleep, my love so true.
