Last Word Before Sleep Lyrics

How can I bear
To wait
For the last word to fall across
Your face
You know there's a darkness
You can't escape
How could I dare
To miss
All the things passed
And now this
You know there's a thousand ways
To kiss

Last word before you sleep
I'd love to be the one
To hear it
The peace that's in your eyes
I'd love to be the one
To get near it

How will I ever know
For sure
You're not the kind to show me
Any more
Do you know what kindness
Is even for

Last word before you sleep
I'd love to be the one
To hear it
The peace that's in your eyes
I'd love to be the one
To get near it

I'd love to be the one
