I Hear You Breathing In Lyrics - Eleanor Mcevoy

When I wake from dreaming 

In the middle of the night 

You're asleep and yet you say 

In your own sweet silent way 

That everything's alright 

And your hair is lying 

'Cross the pillow by my head 

You're unconscious to the night 

You can't talk but that's alright 

Let your breathing speak instead 

I hear you breathing in 

You breathe out on my skin 

That's when I begin 

To know you're near me 

I don't turn on the light 

I don't need to use my eyes 

The heartbeat by my side 

Tells me you're here with me 

My senses can deceive me 

When I'm sleepy and confused 

from my heavy eyes I see 

Only darkness around me 

My dreams long since excused 

Then my thoughts go racing 

Through the cloisters of my brain 

In those midnight hours I find 

That you hypnotise my mind 

With your soothing pulse again 

I hear you breathing in 

You breathe out on my skin 

That's when I begin 

To know you're near me 

I don't turn on the light 

I don't need to use my eyes 

The heartbeat by my side 

Tells me you're here with me
