I've waited long
For a day
That I pray will come to me
I want nothing more
My needs are small
As you rest here at my side

[chorus]
Sleep another hour dear just close your eyes
For the time is fading quickly from our sights
And whispers after midnight echo till the dawn
So close my dear until the night is gone

I love you now
As I will when the longest day is through
Know this is true
Place your heart within this one who lives for you

[chorus] x2

Just sleep another hour dear just close your eyes
For the time is fading quickly from our sights
And whispers after midnight echo till the dawn
So close my dear until the night is gone
