THE MOMENT YOU FALL ASLEEP (Sara Swenson)
© S. Swenson Songs 2018
The world’s blowing round
And I don’t know where we’ll be in twenty years
But right now you’re here next to me keeping me warm
Oh how I love, oh how I love
To be with you the moment you fall asleep
And when the room’s too dark
And I ask God to shine me a light
You’re the candle he flames and the blanket he wraps around me
I can’t make the apple trees grow
I can’t keep this house from burning down
But if ever there’s peace, it’s here as we slip into rest
Oh how I love, oh how I love
To be with you the moment you fall asleep
Tomorrow we will still take turns being strong
But for now, just share with me your kisses goodnight
Oh how I love, oh how I love
To be with you the moment you fall asleep
Oh how I love, oh how I love
To be with you the moment you fall asleep
Oh how I love, oh how I love
To be with you the moment you fall asleep
