I only got three hours
Before I have to get up
Still sleep won’t come for me
At least not enough

And I can’t lie next to you
Not in this light
I’m afraid I’m overcome
With you tonight

It’s on the tip of my tongue
It’s in the songs that I’ve sung
It’s overfilling my eyes
Falling onto my lips
It’s every single word I say
With my fingertips.

Wish I could paint a picture
Of how you look tonight
Then I could finally show you
Your face through my eyes

Maybe you could read my mind
While you’re asleep
Then you could hear me sing to you
In some part of your dream

Never been one to hold my tongue
I must admit it’s getting hard for me
Mistakes I made when I was young
Have all come back and haunted me

But It’s all right I’ll take my time
Cause I’ve already made up my mind
Someday just ask me
I got my answer standing by

It’s on the tip of my tongue
It’s in the songs that I’ve sung
It’s overfilling my eyes
Falling onto my lips
It’s every single word I say
With my fingertips.

Just want to make this last
For as long as I can
