I’M NOT GOING TO WAKE YOU

As I watch you lying there
I wonder what you’re dreaming about.
It must be something beautiful,
Of that I have no doubt.
I wish that I could be more fair.
In time you’ll have it figured out,
But I’m not going to wake you,
‘Cause I can’t bear to face you.

I’m sure that tears may fill your eyes
Once you find that I am gone,
And yet in time, you’ll realize
That you’re better off alone.

I don’t want to wake you
‘Cause I don’t want to see you cry,
But darling, it’s all over now,
So I’ll just say goodbye.
I hate to do this to you,
But darling, I know you’ll get by.
So I’m not going to wake you,
‘Cause I can’t bear to face you.
