Every night

Every night when I get under the covers
Every night when I tuck myself in to sleep
It’s like a delivery right on schedule
Filling me up with everything I need
When my nightly prayer is all said and done
There’s only one thing left to do
I’m sure you know by now
That that thing is to think of you
The world falls into place
You’re there, in my mind
And I see where I’m supposed to be
From now till the end of time
Insomnia grabs hold of me
On the nights you’re not there
But all I have to do is picture your arms around me
And I’ll fall asleep right here
I’m not sure what you’ll call this
Except a love so true
From even the first kiss
And through all the troubles too
And who knows?
Maybe one day this insomniatic will get her guy
Who’d make her happy
Or who’d certainly try
Then maybe her nights won’t be so sleepless
And his arms will be around her
Keeping away her weepiness
Driving away bad dreams in her slumber…
