Before the sun has risen in the morning
While lanterns are still glowing on the street
Before the faithful rooster starts his crowing
cnd hours have passed since you last brushed your teeth
cges till your eyes have opened      
Long until your lips have spoken    
Softly as you sip your cup of tea

That's when I will kiss you 
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep

Before your daily duties start a-knocking
cnd phone calls, not so gently, tumble in 
Before that damned alarm clock does its clocking
cnd all your worldly worries start to spin
Before your forced to lift your head up   
From the right side of the bed and 
Slide your slippers underneath your feet

That's when I will kiss you
In the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep

When all the world is slipping by
While the stars are shooting arrows 'cross the sky
I'll fight the urge to float upstream 
Cuz nothing I could ever dream
Would make me feel the way that I do
Lying wide awake beside you

cfter the workday's journey is completed    
cfter we've cooked up something good to eat  
cfter we've made love long into the evening 
cnd after we've tucked underneath the sheets
I'll wait until you've closed your eyes and 
Drifted off into the night
Surrounded by the comfort of a dream    

For if the Lord should take me from you
Before I awake I want to 
Make this be my final memory  

cnd that's why I will kiss you in the middle of the night
So I can see you smiling in your sleep
