In Slumber I Miss

Another night without a sleep,I dare not try, I count no sheep.For I can't bear to take the risk,In slumber it's you I could miss.Waste not one moment resting sound.It's far more sound with you aroundAnd so my dreams I do dismiss;In slumber it's you I could miss.Forgiven for my darkened eyes,You hold me and you make me lie."Goodnight" you say before a kiss.In slumber it's this I could miss.
