I guard you from the things that creep
About your mind and disturb your dreams
I keep away the worldly cares
That line your face and cloud your eyes
I touch you as you stir
And calm your waking fears
============+++++++++++============
Your breath is soft upon my cheek
Awake my love and claim me
A voice echoes in my mind
I feel you stir and turn my head
You look at me with sleepy eyes
I love you is the morning song
As the day begins
============+++++++++++============
My bed is empty now and cold
I no longer guard your dreams
I hope the one who guards you now
Stands guard as well as I
For you were precious to me once
And the memory is dear
