I'm tired tonight but unable to rest
I think of time lost and feel completely stressed
It's been five years now since I fell from your grace
That night long ago I would like to erase
I know you forgave me but still there is guilt
for tearing down the walls in the home we built
never meant to be like every other man
Hurting you this way was never in my plan
I'd like to sleep with a bottle in my hand
Those days are gone now and the bottle is banned
So I'll lay down beside you and hold you tight
I'll watch you sleeping...such a beautiful sight.
I'll let the sounds of you breathing help me sleep
My promise to you, forever I will keep
Never again will I lose sight of what's right
I'll be the man you married again...your knight
Sleep will find me again soon, this much is true
I give thanks every night that I still have you
