[Theo Katzman - Smiling In Your Sleep lyrics]
Before the sun is risen in the morning
While lanterns are still glowing
On the street before that faithful rooster
Starts his crowing
And hours have passed since you
Last brushed your teeth
Ages till your eyes have opened
Long until your lips have spoken
Softly as you sip your cup of tea
That's when I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
Before the workday's journey
Starts a-knocking
And phone calls not so gently tumble in
Before that damned alarm clock
Does it's clocking
And all your worldly worries start to spin
Before you're forced to lift your head up
From the right side of the bed
And slide your slippers underneath your feet
That's when I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
When all the world is slipping by
While the stars all shooting
Arrows ‘cross the sky
I’ll fight the urge to float upstream
Cause nothing I could ever dream
Would make me feel the way that I do
Lying wide awake beside you
After the workday's journey is completed
After we've cooked up something good to eat
After we've made love long into the evening
And after we've tucked underneath the sheets
I'll wait until you've closed your eyes
And drifted off into the night
Surrounded by the comfort of a dream
For if the lord should take me
From you before I awake
I want to make this be my final memory
And that's why I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
While lanterns are still glowing
On the street before that faithful rooster
Starts his crowing
And hours have passed since you
Last brushed your teeth
Ages till your eyes have opened
Long until your lips have spoken
Softly as you sip your cup of tea
That's when I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
Before the workday's journey
Starts a-knocking
And phone calls not so gently tumble in
Before that damned alarm clock
Does it's clocking
And all your worldly worries start to spin
Before you're forced to lift your head up
From the right side of the bed
And slide your slippers underneath your feet
That's when I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
When all the world is slipping by
While the stars all shooting
Arrows ‘cross the sky
I’ll fight the urge to float upstream
Cause nothing I could ever dream
Would make me feel the way that I do
Lying wide awake beside you
After the workday's journey is completed
After we've cooked up something good to eat
After we've made love long into the evening
And after we've tucked underneath the sheets
I'll wait until you've closed your eyes
And drifted off into the night
Surrounded by the comfort of a dream
For if the lord should take me
From you before I awake
I want to make this be my final memory
And that's why I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
