The dawn creeps 'cross the pillow
Where the face of an angel
Lies cradled in a nest of tangled hair

And the smile of contentment
On your face while you've been sleepin'
Keeps me going, makes me know just why I'm here

And I don't believe you'll ever find
The thought will ever cross my mind to leave

I'd die from loneliness
I need your onlyness
A place for my soul to rest
Yes, I need your love
To make my life beautiful

The alarmclock rings at seven and I feel a stir beside me
I'm hearing your gentle footsteps on the floor
I raise up from my pillow just in time to catch a small glimpse
Of a housecoat swishing through the kitchen door

And I don't believe you'll ever find
A thought will ever cross my mind to leave

I'd die from loneliness
I need your onlyness
A place for my soul to rest
Yes, I need your love
To make my life beautiful

I watch my shaving razor gliding smoothly on the face
Of a happy man who loves to live at home
And the sweetest voice I ever heard is calling me to breakfast
I don't know how I made it on my own

And I don't believe you'll ever find
A thought will ever cross my mind to leave

I'd die from loneliness
I need your onlyness

A place for my soul to rest
Yes, I need your love
To make my life beautiful
