Billie Myers

He waited, he counted the days
To see your mother's eyes in you, a smile he knew
Everyday was a year to him
He felt to helpless, he felt you kicking
Did you hear his voice- so 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'd never seen a grown man cry
He said 'I've never felt this way before
Sleeping Beauty sleeps no more'
Your first breath was your last breath
He heard it all before
The silence of an unheard cry
The day stood still, his mouth ran dry
When nothing moved, he felt so helpless
'What have I done, do we really deserve this'
He pressed his palms and he begged forgiveness
'I'd give my life to save hers'
Chorus
You sleep beyond the reach of dreams
In a room that has no door
So if I kissed you now, would I be your prince charming
Or just an ordinary man who tried to kiss you back, back to life
Don't turn your back now, turn around
Turn around if you're lost, I'll find you
Turn around, I'm still here beside you
You know my name when you see my face
Your memories are my crowd in a lonely place
Second Chorus
Behind the child, a mother cries
Her tears would never ever dry
She said 'I've never felt this way before
Sleeping Beauty sleeps no more'
On the stone house remains:
I love you and your name
