I lay awake

I lay awake
Tossing turning
I lay awake
In the cold
I need your arms
Wrapped around me
I need your touch
'Fore I can sleep
I lay awake
Don't I feel lonely
I close my eyes
To all I know

Take my hand
The way you took my heart
We'll be free
From the very start
To feel your skin
Against my skin
To feel your heart
Beat with my own

I lay awake
Tossing turning
I lay awake
In the cold
I need your arms
Wrapped around me
I need your touch
'Fore I can sleep
I lay awake
Don't I feel lonely
I close my eyes
To everyone

But if you took my hand
Like you took my heart
I could lead the way
Down a winding road
Entwine your fingers
Between my own
Then I could close my eyes
Knowing I'm at home

I lay awake
Tossing turning
Come back to me
Don't you fall away
I lay awake
Missing you dearly
I need your smile
'Fore I can rest
I lay awake
Don't I feel lonely
I close my eyes
In utter hope
