[Intro 8 measures] [Two acoustic guitars joined by electric fretless bass] [Verse:] Eyes closed and gently breathing Peaceful in your silent grace I reached to brush your hair back That had fallen across your face Taking care not to wake you Though I had some things to say I’ll just wait until the morning But that feels like days away [Chorus:] [Tight 2 part Harmonies] While you were sleeping I hit the porch with my guitar To conjure up a love song From the nighttime and my scars While you were sleeping I sang those words from my heart That said how much I love you While you were sleeping, worlds apart [Verse:] Do your dreams reveal desires For the places you would go Or scream for satisfaction And release to let you grow It may just be my longing To hear that you love me too And those things that I hope for Are the same dreams wished by you [Chorus:] [Tight 2 part Harmonies] While you were sleeping I hit the porch with my guitar To conjure up a love song From the nighttime and my scars While you were sleeping I sang those words from my heart That said how much I love you While you were sleeping, worlds apart [Bridge:] [Modulate up, strong vocals] I’m holding back the morning So, I don’t have to see The truth behind your silence Or what you feel for me But if I haunt your dreaming Like you’ve been haunting mine Then maybe when you wake up Our hearts will still align [Modulate back to original key] [Chorus:] [Tight 3 part Harmonies] While you were sleeping I hit the porch with my guitar To conjure up a love song From the nighttime and my scars While you were sleeping I sang those words from my heart That said how much I love you While you were sleeping, worlds apart While you’re sleeping, worlds apart
