Lyrics

I hear your breath and feel the scent of your skin
(I) would like a glimpse of the dreamland you're in
Hear you sighing
See you dreaming
Sweetest creature with a sweet soul within

I let my hand gently run through your hair
Can't take my eyes away from you lying there
Skin like velvet
Eyes like emeralds
(I) treasure each day, every second we share

I watch you when you sleep
You, my precious one,
– you, my sweetest joy
I'll give you all you need
I'll be here for you, when you're down and cry

The depths of this love is nearly hard to believe
If you were gone, you would leave me in grief
Want to keep you
Want to hold you
I'm always yours, although someday you'll leave

I watch you when you sleep
You, my precious one,
– you, my sweetest joy
I'll give you all you need
I am here for you, little baby boy
