through the night
through the night

Falling asleep with my lips on your lips
Might be my favorite part
Or lying for hours with your hand in my hand
And your head upon my heart
Wrapped up in each other’s arms so close
your body feels like my body
as every breath and heartbeat comes and goes
your body moves with my body
Come into my arms
I will hold you tight
Through the night
I will hold you close
Your body next to my body
Come into my arms
I will hold you through the night
Feeling the warmth of your breath on my skin
Touching me with your sighs
Where do you end and where do I begin
as I hold you through the night
