Smiles and Dreams

awake and next to you
 i hear you talk in your sleep
 although you're here with me
 you've not the strength to weep
 you've been alone till now
 and you're not used to me
 but know I'm here for you
 for you whenever you need
 awake and next to you
 my feelings build within me
 i want to sing to you
 for you to dance with me
 i know it's hard so you
 can't open up to me
 but know I'm here for you
 where your father should
 be with me
 smile at me
 know I know you more than you know me
 i hold my heart so distantly
 i've been here by your side for all this time
 know if it was a choice that it would be for all my life
 i know that in my heart you won't be mine
 whisper into my ear from your dream
 be with me
 stay with me
 trust in me
 don't leave me
 come close
 come into my embrace and look at me
 let's see
 let me clean your face and wipe your glasses off
 so you can see
 see the way I feel for you and need me
 love me
 love me like a brother
 love anything
 be with me
 smile at me
 know I know you more than you know me
 i hold my heart so distantly
 i've been here by your side for all this time
 know if it was a choice that it would be for all my life
