When you fall asleep before I do,

I think of all the things that we’ve been through

I can’t imagine living without you – it’s true

And it’s so easy to be in love with you  

You make it easy to live the life we do

When you fall asleep before I do

My heart is slowly breaking into two

I know that there is nothing we can do – it’s true

And it’s so easy to put this in a song

But it’s not easy to accept that you’ll be gone

But then I take a long deep breath

Commit to whatever time is left

To make it full and make it real

To   be the best that I can be   

It’s not how long we live but how well

When you fall sleep before I do,

I think of all the things that we’ve been through

I can’t imagine living without you – it’s true

I want to scream and cry and reel against the world

A life without you just strikes me as absurd

Hold my hand forever – so we’ll never be alone

Always here together  – I know you are my home

So I don’t want to sleep before you do

When time is running out for me and you

The power of our love will see us through  – it’s true 

No it’s not easy  – but live your best life now

So take it easy and I’ll see you in the clouds
