Long, Sleepless Nights


Long, sleepless nights alone.
Then...There's your smile.
More sleepless nights as I lay
Basking in your smile.

Long, sleepless nights alone.
Then...There's your eyes.
More sleepless nights as I lay 
Living lifetimes in your eyes.

Pursuit, are you kidding me?
Yes, pursuit.  Your eyes call.
I find you. You push me away.
Pursuit, are you kidding me?

You know not what it means.
You feel the importance inside.
I'll pursue. I'll always pursue.
Your eyes and smile call to me.

Long, sleepless nights no more.
Your look, your energy, your touch
All fill me to over-flowing;
All more than I ever dreamed.
