The dawn creeps 'cross
The pillow where the face
Of an angel lies cradled
In a nest of tangled hair
And the smile of contentment
On your face while you've been sleepin'
Keeps me going
Makes me know just why I'm here
And I don't believe you'll ever find
A thought will ever cross my mind to leave
I'd die from loneliness
I need your onlyness
A place for my soul to rest
Yes, I need your love
To make my life beautiful
The alarmclock rings at seven
And I feel a stir beside me
And I hear your gentle footsteps
On the floor
I raise up from my pillow
Just in time to catch a small glimpse
Of a housecoat swishing through
The kitchen door
And I don't believe you'll ever find
A thought will ever cross my mind to leave
I'd die from loneliness
I need your onlyness
A place for my soul to rest
Yes, I need your love
To make my life beautiful
I watch my shaving razor
Gliding smoothly
On the face of a happy man
Who loves to live at home
And the sweetest voice I ever heard
Is calling me to breakfast
And I don't know how
I made it on my own
And I don't believe you'll ever find
A thought will ever cross my mind to leave
I'd die from loneliness
I need your onlyness
A place for my soul to rest
Yes, I need your love
To make my life beautiful
