Lying In My Bed |
It’s about 5 o’clock in the morning |
I’m lying in my bed, looking at my sleepy eyed pretty girl |
I guess she’s asleep now; |
God, she’s so beautiful |
She may not mean a thing to you because people don’t know her like I do |
But if you’ve got someone you love very much you’ll know what I mean |
Wish I could get to sleep; |
so many thoughts about her keep coming back and I’m |
so very tired |
Things like how I’m going to learn to understand the way she feels inside |
I want her to love me and let me be her man |
But that sounds too possessive; |
it’s not mant to be, it just sounds that way |
Or to search each othrs bodies with the sensitive pleasure of the newness of |
making love |
So new in fact we didn’t get that far yet |
We haven’t known each other that long so, for instance, we’re still strangers |
and hold back at certain times when we should be close |
She told me she never had pleasure out of sex before, sort of like an ordeal a |
lot of the time |
So I guess she doesn’t really trust men very much now |
So it looks like that part of our relationship is gonna take a while to happen |
the way it should |
That’s why it’s so hard for me to fall asleep with her lying here — looking so |
defenceless, desirable and feminine |
Time is so short these days but there are some things that can’t be rushed and |
I can appreciate that loving her is one of those things, if anything worthwhile |
is to be accomplished |
Funny how in the daytime I never get to feeling quite this way |
I mean, I probably wouldn’t be thinking these sort of thoughts |
I’m looking out the window, see the dawn coming and sleep will soon be taking |
me to where-ever she is now |
Sleepy eyed pretty girl, why are we so separate and alone? |
How do you feel when the doubts’s between you and the one you love |
It’s still 5 o’clock in the morning and I’m still looking at her |
I know she’s asleep now |
She looks so beautiful yet so alone, so alone, alone |
