True Love

I lay awake and listened
To your breathing through the night,
Watching, and hoping, that somehow you just might
Waken, and see me, or just realise I’m here.

But again there’s pleasure in seeing you lie there.
You’re gorgeous from the colour of your hair
To the dimple on your chin,
Or the softness of your skin.

Yes, there’s beauty in just watching you
And listening to you sleep,
And in the way I’m feeling too.
Yes my darling sleep.

Little girl I love you so, I never thought I would.
This father role it’s understood
Is how it ought to be,
And my little girl I’ll show you,
Just you wait and see.
