    AT LEAST WHILE I’M ASLEEP © Words and Music: Donna Aylor / Mark Oates / Charles Hollingsworth You found me swaying in the shadows Watching lovers dance out on the floor My life was rescued in that moment I thought I knew what love would have in store Yet the years have made you restless For all the carefree days you once knew I’m so afraid you’ll be leaving Afraid there’s nothing else that I can do, that I can do… CHORUS: AT LEAST WHILE I’M ASLEEP MY HEART IS AWAKE YOUR BEAUTY DRIFTS SO SOFTLY THROUGH MY DREAMS AND WHEN THE STARS ALL SHINE ALL YOUR LOVE IS MINE ENDLESSLY AT LEAST WHILE I’M ASLEEP We always used to say “I Love You” Now we hardly speak much anymore Our time together was so cherished Now our love’s so easy to ignore Ghost of words we left unspoken Wake me in the darkness next to you My life is empty without meaning Until I close my eyes to be with you, to be with you…. REPEAT CHORUS BRIDGE: Rescue me again say our broken hearts will mend I can’t wake up to another moment trying to pretend REPEAT CHORUS
