Theodore Katzman, Dave MacKay, Jordan Rose, James Henry Jr., Devin Kerr, Joe Dart, Nick Nagurka and Phil Weinrobe - Smiling in Your Sleep

Before the sun has risen in the morning
While lanterns are still glowing on the street
Before the faithful rooster starts his crowing
cnd hours have passed since you last brushed your teeth
cges 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 your daily duties start a-knocking
cnd phone calls, not so gently, tumble in
Before that damned alarm clock does its clocking
cnd all your worldly worries start to spin
Before your 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 are shooting arrows 'cross the sky
I'll fight the urge to float upstream
Cuz nothing I could ever dream
Would make me feel the way that I do
Lying wide awake beside you

cfter the workday's journey is completed
cfter we've cooked up something good to eat
cfter we've made love long into the evening
cnd 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

cnd that's why I will kiss you in the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
