I COULD NEVER SLEEP WITH YOU  

I could never, ever sleep with you.
This I know. A fact. Its true.
For your eyes so sparkling,
clear and bright
Would keep me awake,
Right through the night.
 
I could never, ever sleep with you.
No matter how close to you I drew.
For your bubbling soul would never slake.
No matter how much
For you I ache.
 
I could never, ever sleep with you.
Regardless how close to you I grew.
For your smile, your laugh,
Your vibrant charm.
Would keep me nights
From, being calm.
 
I could never, ever sleep with you.
Not a wink, a sigh
 The whole night through.
For passion and pleasure,
The earth would quake
So I would surely,
Stay awake.
