sleepless dream

Sometimes when I close my eyes
I see us holding hands.
We head along the ocean shore
we're walking in the sand.
We lay down by the water
and I have you in my arms.
We lay until the sunset ends
and then we watch the stars.
Your head is on my shoulder
as you lay in my embrace.
you're humming softly as the moon
illuminates your face.
I whisper then a silent prayer
while looking to the sky,
Lord please dont let this moment end
please keep her by my side.
I hold you till you fall asleep
and then the stars are gone.
The darkness of the night becomes
the morning light of dawn.
Awakened by the crashing waves,
I gently take your hand.
We head along the ocean shore
we're walking in the sand.
