I'm Here

"Come lay by my side

As I hold you tight through the night,

Whispering every so often and oh so gently in your ear

That I'm still here."

Rest your head upon my chest

Trust me, dear, I know what's best,

And in my arms please, be at ease,
Dearest, I'm here.

Your heartbeat will quickly match mine,

Your scent still lingers through my air...

Dream sweet dreams, I'm oh so near...

Sweetheart, I'm here.

Close your eyes, quiet your mind,

I'll stay yours, for you are mine.

Trust me, there's nothing to fear,

Baby, I'm here.

If you wake throughout the night,

I promise there's nothing to fight.

My face buried in your hair,

Darling, I'm here.

I'll fight your demons, fight your fears,

Erase nightmares, wipe your tears,

Whisper softly in your ear

Love, I am here.

And if you wake, and I am gone...

Know it will not be for long.

Just fall asleep back in my bed

And when you wake, you sleepy head,

I'll be right here.
