Before the sun has risen in the morning
While lanterns are still glowing on the street
Before that faithful rooster starts his crowing
And hours have passed since you last brushed your teeth
Ages till your have eyes have opened
Long until your lips have spoken
Softly as you sip your cup of tea
That's when I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
ย
Before the workday's journey starts a-knocking
And phone calls not-so-gently tumble in
Before that damned alarm clock does its clocking
And all your worldly worries start to spin
Before you're forced to lift your head up
From the right side of the bed, and
Slide your slippers underneath your feet
That's when I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
When all the world is slipping by
All the stars are shooting arrows 'cross the sky
I find that you still float upstream
'Cause nothing I could ever dream
Would make me feel the way that I do
Lying wide awake beside you
After the workday's journey is completed
After we've cooked up something good to eat
After we've made love long into the evening
And after we've talked underneath the sheets
I'll wait until you've closed your eyes
And drifted off into the the night
Surrounded by the comfort of a dream
For if the light should take me from you
Before I awake, I want to
Make this be my final memory
And that's why I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
