VERSE I:
|
He waited,
|
He counted
|
the days
|
to see your mothers eyes in you
|
|
A smile he knew
|
every day was a year to him
|
he felt so helpless
|
he felt you kicking
|
|
|
Did you hear his voice,
|
Go gentle,
|
so calming.
|
He placed his hand
|
where he thought you would be
|
He called you sleeping beauty
|
|
CHORUS:
|
Behind the child,
|
a father's pride
|
I've never seen a grown man cry
|
(He said) I've never felt this way before.
|
Sleeping beauty,
|
sleep no more,
|
|
beauty sleep...
|
|
VERSE II:
|
Your first breath
|
was your last breath
|
|
he heard it all before.
|
The silence of an unheard cry,
|
the day stood still,
|
his mouth went dry.
|
|
When nothing moved,
|
he felt so helpless.
|
"What have I done,
|
do we really deserve this?"
|
He pressed his palms
|
and he begged forgivness.
|
I'd give my life to save his.
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
BRIDGE:
|
You sleep beyond the reach of dreams,
|
in a room that has no doors,
|
so if I kissed you now,
|
would I be your Prince Charming,
|
or just
|
an ordinary
|
man who tried to kiss your back?
|
Back to life
|
(Don't) turn your back, no,
|
(Don't) turn your back, no,
|
(Don't) turn your back, no, you now
|
(Dont turn around).
|
Turn around,
|
if your lost, I'll find you.
|
Turn around,
|
I'm still here beside you
|
You know my name when you see my face,
|
Our memories might crowd when I'm holding your face.
|
|
REPEAT CHORUS
|
|
Behind the child
|
A mother's cries.
|
Her tears are never ever dry
|
She said "I've never felt this way before"
|
Sleeping Beauty
|
Sleep no more
|
|
Beatuy sleep no more...
|
On the stone house remains
|
"I love you and your name"
|
