WHEN I SLEEP

Author: Robert Kyle Newton

When the dawn turns to dusk, 
My world suddenly feels right all over again, 
For I know when I close my eyes, 
You’ll be there next to me, 
I could fall a million times 
and you would be there to lift me up, 
I could cry the sorrows of my life, 
And you would comfort me, 
I could laugh and you’d be sharing my joy, 
I could do all I wanted to do with you 
and you’ll be there, 
And these are the times I treasure so much, 
For the world will rejoice again 
at the break of a new day, 
And you have left me, no longer there, 
I would awake in tears 
for in my arms you no longer are, 
And till the night comes again, would I see you, 
Where the love of my life returns.
