Wake Me Up Tonight

As she fiddles with the folds in her skirt
Her stare is off to unknown places out there
While her gaze rests at the stain on her shirt
Like a child, so oblivious, so unaware
Her green eyes, her black hair, her pale skin, her dark stare
Have wandered off into the morning light
She wakes up, surprised, and I’m caught by her smile
The sundown turns into a dawning so bright

I’ve been sleeping so long, now it’s time to end this night
You have been on my mind with your smile and eyes so bright
Please set the alarm, please turn on the light
Please wake me up, when you’re there by my side
I’ve been sleeping too long, please wake me up tonight
I’ve been sleeping too long, please wake me up tonight

As she fumbles with a string of her hair
She drifts off in daydreams and nighttime longing
She might be anyone, any place anywhere
Unaware of the glances and gazes she’s causing
Her dark brows, her light grows, her blank stare, no one knows
If she has wandered off into the dusk or the dawning
She wakes up, surprised, and I’m caught by her smile
Which is sketched in a painting or drawing

I’ve been sleeping so long, now it’s time to end this night
You have been on my mind with your smile and eyes so bright
Please set the alarm, please turn on the light
Please wake me up, when you’re there by my side
I’ve been sleeping too long, please wake me up tonight
I’ve been sleeping too long, please wake me up tonight
