I don't want to fall asleep
I want this time to linger
I've been waiting all day
Just to have you by my side
So If I seem a little quiet
I'm savoring the moment
I'm swimming in emotion
Of what I'm feeling inside
I don't want to fall asleep

I don't want to fall asleep
so many things I want to say
Lessons I have learned
All the things you have shown me
How to look with understanding
And live in forgiveness
You taught me how to trust
In every way you have known me

I don't want to fall asleep
And let this feeling go
If there's anything inside you that hurts
I want to make you whole
So let me love you with my eyes
And heal you with my touch
Bring you joy
I love you so much

I don't want to fall asleep
Let's stay awake a little longer
Just close your eyes
Lay your head on my shoulder
I'll run my fingers through your hair
And try to stay awake
Savor every moment
But make no mistake

I don't want to fall asleep
I want this time to linger
I've been waiting all day
Just to have you by my side
So if I seem a little quiet
I'm savoring the moment
My love's running over
So lay your head on my shoulder
I don't want to fall asleep
