When I Watch You Sleeping

[Intro] Dadd11 [Verse 1] When I watch you sleeping there’s nothing that you hide          When I smell you breathing there’s a sweetness from inside          And when I feel you stirring and the day is about to break         Outside wings are worrying and the sky is there to take          I wonder how I got so close to you and see the chances that you take Without thinking I’m going there too these are the promises you make When your eyes are blinded by love and the history a fate [Interlude] Dadd11 [Verse 2] When I hear you purring like a kitten and a lion          And I feel your softness how you got it without trying        Then you roll and tumble with your dreams still holding on          And I hear that rumble in the stomach of the dawn          Today I made my masterpiece tonight I trace my tears Thinking through my path to you and where I stumbled through the years [Solo] Dadd11 Dadd11 [Chorus] Today I made my masterpiece tonight I trace my tears Thinking through the road I took to you and how I stumbled through the years That’s when I knew I’d never hold you down Repeating old roads and fears [Verse 3] Now the crows are calling and the blackbirds sing in my ear           You got one eye open and I am smiling through my tears         But you’ll never see them they’re inside with my fears         In a place that’s fading away and taking on new years [Outro] Dadd11
