As I lay staring out
At the stars I wonder why you haven’t left me alone
There’s nothing that I can say to make you leave, though I want
So much for you to be here with me
The moment will come
When I have to sleep
Just let me be…
You’re so…beautiful and I just can’t get away from you
You’re so…wonderful and I just can’t get enough of the way you look,
The way you laugh, the way you smile when I say your name
The way you smile when I say your name
Time never has been on my side
But never has this been more evident than it is tonight
‘Cause I’m so tired, tired of all this passion
Tired of wanting…so tired of wanting you
So I’ll close my eyes
And pray for sleep
Just let me be…
You’re so…beautiful and I just can’t get away from you
You’re so…wonderful and I just can’t get enough of the way you look,
The way you laugh, the way you smile when I say your name
The way you smile when I say your name
[Instrumental bridge]
You’re so…beautiful and I just can’t get away from you
You’re so…wonderful and I just can’t get enough of the way you laugh,
The way you cry, the way your hand fits into mine,
The way you move, the way you breathe,
The way your voice inspires me,
The way you fall unto your knees when there’s nothing left of me,
The way you stand through all the pain,
The way you smile when I say your name.
