The sun rises, and she's lying beside me

lost in her dreaming, behind closed eyes

and the covers rest on her shoulders

softly she's breathing, her head turned to mine


if there was one picture

that I could take in my life

I'd take the one beside me

in the dawn's early light


I've watched her many a morning

careful not to wake her up from her dreams

I could lie here and watch her forever

there ain't no sight better

that my eyes have seen


if there was one picture that I could take in my life

I'd take the one beside me

in the dawn's early light
