When you sleep

My world's been light blue

Since the day you were here

Forever in my arms, lying together in the grass

Everything's forgotten, make room for you and me

I've never known that what I've been searching for is you

When you sleep and I can't be with you for a short while

So perfect, such a lot of happiness, and yet so small

When you sleep, when our love might even get some rest,

You can't see it's you that makes me smile all the time

And I watch upon you with all my heart when you sleep.

You keep looking at me, not losing sight of me,

Time and again so insecurely, but your eyes stay dry

Your heartbeat sounds like music to my ears,

A mother blackbird is singing because you were born.

When you sleep and I can't be with you for a short while

So perfect, such a lot of happiness, and yet so small

When you sleep, when our love might even get some rest,

You can't see it's you that makes me smile all the time

And I watch upon you with all my heart

I could scream for joy now

So take these smiles I'd love so much to give you

And I love you with all my heart.
