As I lie on my bed, Looking through the window, The Moonlit sky look very tired, I am sleepy and still to thinking , In dream, In my dream, As I sit on your window, And seeing you everyday, I hear you when you're laughing, And watching you as you sleep, I ever place my arms around you, To calm you as you weep, I given you my hand for hold, Flow of yours love, come with me, I carry you to paradise of your dream, As we sit in heaven, Looking at your white around face, It's having so much beauty and grace, I carry your heart I carry it in my heart, Sharing each other last look before I wake up, As I open my mouth and yawn, I wake up with smile and telling to myself, The love we share is a permanent part of me,
