Sleepy Angel Lyrics - Singles - Peter Ansley

I watch you in the early morning's golden glow; 

you sleep so softly neath the covers there. 

I'm listening to the rhythm 

of your quiet breath 

like you just came to life 

and I was in the middle of a miracle 

I want to reach across and touch but so afraid 

you might not be as real as you seem. 

I don't want anyone 

to awaken me 

if it's just a dream. 

I'd rather die; I'd rather lie here for eternity 

So lie a little longer sleepy angel. 

Don't try to rise. 

Just lie there next to me 

And if by chance you find you must be leaving, 

I pray you'll come again and dream with me. 

Years ago, just passing through your life, 

you had me for a song. 

And I wrote about a dream 

that came true last night. 

Why did it take so long 

to finally find my arms around an angel?
