Sleep Tight

Sleep Tight


I wish I were your blanket keeping out this winters chill
Snuggled against your body as you sleep peacefully still
I'd tuck around you softly while you were fast asleep
Longing to be inside of each secret dream you keep


If I could be your blanket I would always keep you warm
Covering you from head to toe to keep you safe from harm
I would feel like downy wings brushed against your skin
Wrapping you in sweetest dreams not letting bad ones in


I wish I were your soft pillow to gently cradle your head
I long to be your mattress so that I can share your bed
I'd love to be the stars that twinkle through your night
The sun that slants across your cheek at first break of light


A mantle much like the snow against your windowpane
Keep you from the elements when clouds spare their rain
I guess you are my daydream the dream I long most for
To be as close as your blanket if you cannot offer more
