I hear you breathing in

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
