I'll stay awake and watchful tonight

Drenched in thoughts and daydreams past.

This journey walked by you and I

Has shown both our full potentials,

What we can be if we want to try

To live our dreams to the fullest.

For me, I sit here on the couch,

A lonely guitar in my arms

While my fingers caress the strings, all-knowing

Of just the way to touch to make the right sounds.

Doesn't seem to matter as much,

This beautiful instrument here with me

When the one I truly want to hold

Is so distant, hopefully peacefully sleeping.

The dreams that fill that angel's mind

Hopefully offer some soothing relief

And refuge when she seeks it most.

The days she'll be safe in my arms

Are those I long for until they come.

For now my angel, sweet love of mine,

Sleep well while I play my guitar for you,

The sound carrying across the miles

To sing within your heart.
