The words have been drained from this pencil
Sweet words that I want to give you
And I can't sleep
I need to tell you
Goodnight

When we're together, I feel perfect
When I'm pulled away from you, I fall apart
All you say is sacred to me
Your eyes are so blue
I can't look away
As we lay in the stillness
You whisper to me

Amy, marry me
Promise you'll stay with me
Oh you don't have to ask me
You know you're all that I live for
You know I'd die just to hold you
Stay with you
Somehow I'll show you
That you are my night sky
I've always been right behind you
Now I'll always be right beside you

So many nights I cried myself to sleep
Now that you love me, I love myself
I never thought I would say this
I never thought there'd be
You

    The first time i heard this song, i was nearly brought to tears--it's painstakingly beautiful like most of Lee's work. I still can't believe someone close to her (it would have to be) leaked the song onto internet...can't imagine how she felt. I'm a huge fan of Amy's and I know that I should respect her wishes and such, but...i LOVVE this song waaaay too much. Terrible person, I know ;P
