• I lie in my bed with the sunrise
    As it rises to welcome the day;
    Defeated, I stare out my window,
    For the night is now fading away.

    I cannot retire while I’m feeling
    This terrible longing for you,
    I find myself sighing and wishing
    That you’d lie in my bed with me, too.

    The love that I have for you lingers
    As I try to forget that you’re gone,
    And I lie and lament until morning,
    When my eyes close to hide from the dawn.

    For many long hours have I wanted
    For slumber, for rest and for dreams,
    But the moon has retired before me,
    And the sun has since thwarted my schemes.
