Lyrics
[verse]
I lie awake and watch you while you're sleeping
Count the breaths that rise and fall so slow
Every second feels like something worth the keeping
I don't want to let a single moment go
[chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna miss one hour with you
Don't wanna sleep through what our love can do
I'd rather stay awake beneath the same old moon
Than lose a single minute far too soon
[verse]
The world keeps spinning fast outside this window
But time stands still here in this quiet room
I trace the shadows dancing where you glow
And swear I'll never let this feeling go too soon
[chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna miss one hour with you
Don't wanna sleep through what our love can do
I'd rather stay awake beneath the same old moon
Than lose a single minute far too soon
[bridge]
Some say that love's a dream you wake up from
I say it's the waking that makes love become
Real and true and worth the fight
So I'll stay open-eyed here every night
[chorus]
'Cause I don't wanna miss one hour with you
Don't wanna sleep through what our love can do
I'd rather stay awake beneath the same old moon
Than lose a single minute far too soon
