Sleeping Gardens
Swing open the garden gate
And join me beneath closed flowers
Dawn has not yet broken
And you have barely woken
So keep your eyes closed
And inhale this aromatic lullaby
The late stars reflect in my eyes
Sparkling pools that ripple only for you
I see your sweet face smile
And I long to know what you're dreaming of
But I'm content with waiting on your heart
To realize you're in love, too
Just tell me when and I'll be there
Always
