As You Slept

As you slept,

I watched you,

so sweet in dreamland.

I just love lying here,

in your arms,

just watching you sleep,

hearing you breathe.

And with my head upon your chest,

listening to your heartbeat.

As you slept,

I thought to myself,

I could live like this forever.

Watching you sleep,

watching you dream.

While I myself,

am in Heaven.
