sleepy eyed
Holly Szurczynski 1977
As night slowly drifts in,
soft music plays to sooth your soul,
bittersweet thoughts of the day,
all worries gone, away they go.
I close my eyes to rest,
a sudden comfort overwhelms me,
thoughts of your arms wrapped,
holding me, I can't breathe.
Crisp breeze of the night,
cools the room to a crisp,
send heat to my heart,
seal it with a kiss.
Starlight shines down bright,
faint shadow of it's glow,
shines through my window,
little bit of light, is all that is shown.
When morning comes with daylight,
sun beams warm on my face,
I feel the emotions inside,
I couldn't be in a better place.
