I feel the hot sand on my back
as we lie under the stars
you close your eyes and fall asleep
and I carry you to the car
I look at you while I drive home
and I can't help but smile
I don't want the moment to end
so I drive an extra mile
I drive up to your house
and I just sit and stare
I reach out and touch your cheek
and I push away your blonde hair
You wake up and look at me
with your beautiful blue eyes
you smile and pretend to fall asleep
and I look at you and smile, letting out a sigh
I know that you're awake
but i decide to play along
so I carry you to your room
singing a soft song
I see the smile on your face
but I act like I don't know
I lie you down softly
but you won't let me go
so I hold you tight and whisper
I love you in your ear
You smile and whisper it back
and I break into tears
because those are the three words
I have waited a lifetime to hear
