while you are sleeping

The sun still rises before it later fades
after the night still yields its twilight shades
while you are sleeping

Lips will smile and tears will fall
as the world revolves; without pause at all
while you are sleeping

Daily tasks will all resume
as flowers on your chest will bloom
while you are sleeping

Eyes now see, that once were blind
as your friendship you leave behind
while we are weeping

You viewed the world through beautiful eyes
and you've left unable to hear our cries
while you are sleeping

May now your dreams be treasure laced
forgotten, the sorrows you have faced
while you are sleeping

good bye my dearest
good bye my heart
