Alexis Monsorno

As you sleep

Close your eyes

Lullabies fill your room

And I will be singing

Singing only to you

Don't forget I'll hold your hand

To watch the sky break it's dawn

But as you sleep

And no one is listening

I will lift you off your feet

And keep you from sinking

Don't wake up yet

Cause soon I'll be leaving you

But you won't be leaving me

In the car the radio

Leaves me searching for your star

A constellation of frustration

Driving hard

Singing my thoughts back to me

Like watching heartache on TV

But as you sleep

And no one is listening

I will lift you off your feet

And keep you from sinking

Don't wake up yet

Cause soon I'll be leaving you

But you won't be leaving me
