I lie awake watching your shoulders
Move so softly as you breathe
With every breathe you're growing older
But that is fine if you're with me

I pledge to wake you with a smile
I pledge to hold you when you cry
I pledge to love you till I die
Till I die

The rays of dawn plays on your eyelids
A sleeping beauty dressed in sun

I will wake you with a smile
I will hold you when you cry
I will love you till I die
Till I die
Till I die

I believe this heart of mine when it tells my eyes
That this is beauty
I believe this heart of mine when it tells my mind
That this is reason
I believe this heart of mine when it cries at time
That this is forever
I believe this heart of mine when it tells the skies
That this is the face of God

[Daniel Gildenlow]

I lie awake watching your shoulders

    My Interpretation

    I understand that it was written for his wife, but I deeply resonate with the lyrics too.

    I decided to marry my wife watching her "shoulders" as she slept ... I knew in that moment that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with her, I wanted to grow old with her etc. So Daniel's lyrics reflect very truly to me what love is, and how you know you love someone ... very poetic, and I couldn't have said it better.
