The Still Night

In the still night
I hear you whispering to me,
I can feel your heart beat
in the dark next to me.

Move in closer
your words I must hear,
for in the night they are unclear
mixing in the dark with my fear.

I need to feel you breathe
to know you are beside me
in the dark
in a world so far apart.

Move in closer,
I can not hear
as the night calls my tears
mixing in the dark with my fear.

I can't hear;
the world is spinning year and year.
I feel alone in the night
yearning and yearning for that light.

I need to know
to feel complete
to face the dark without defeat,
Rising up to finally breathe.

In the still night
next to me
I want to feel your heart beat,
in the dark while you whisper to me.
