lyrics

Can’t Fall Asleep
Words and Music by Jean Rohe and Liam Robinson

The breeze and the curtains are doing their slow dance
Darkness descends on the big world outside
You’re lying beside me and I watch your breathing
Your eyelids, the face that I know

I can’t fall asleep when I’m by your side
But I don’t want to wake up alone

The quiet of nighttime is our tiny haven
From the noise of the street and the cares of the day
I want to protect you from all the world’s troubles
With shelter in my loving arms

I can’t fall asleep when I’m by your side
But I don’t want to wake up alone

I see you in springtime, the May that I met you
I see you in winter, the end of our days
I kiss you softly, you smile in your slumber
It’s summer and I’m by your side

I can’t fall asleep when I’m by your side
But I don’t want to wake up alone
No, I don’t want to wake up alone
