AS YOU SLEEP    
                      Slumber gentle princess                                            
                      Serenely in your bed.
                      Fashion new worlds
                      Inside your head.
                      Leave this world's concerns               
                      To those still awake;
                      Cloak yourself in visions
                      You alone partake.

                                              Excuse me as I savor                             
                                              Each breath you take,
                                           Floating on the cloud
                                              Of beauty you create.
                                              Allow me just one kiss
                                              Upon your downy cheek               
                                              Before I too surrender
                                              To my own blissful sleep.


                                                                 Come tomorrow morning
                                                                 I will see you again my sweet
                                                                 And ask you of your sojourn               
                                                                 In the shadows deep.
                                                              Till then "Good Night" to you
                                                                 In your worry-free release;
                                                                 Watching you there I know
                                                                 There truly can be peace...
