Till Dreams Come

Late Nights I stay awake tossing turning.
One day I'll get a hang off this night owl thing
But till then I'll steal my little moments with you
The moments I have when your asleep and grab for me
Kiss me, Both off in our own little worlds
But still the joy of you waking to kiss me well I toss and turn
I love you, You are mine and I'm keeping you ass long as you let me
Now I'll put down my pen and paper
Lay down my head and sleep
With your open arms waiting to hold me till dreams come

Good Night Daddy

With my flash light I hide under the covers to read
I poke my head out just enough to see your light on
I know you are still awake I can smell the cigarette smoke
In my over sized pajamas I sneak in to your room
You know I'm there but you don't say anything not yet
I get to where Max the big bad guard dog sleeps
You lean over and say "You couldn't sleep either?"
Laying on the floor with my head resting on max
I look up and I know you'll soon pick me up sit me on your lap
Tell me a story and wait for me to nod off
Now I'm older and I still know that late at night
I can find you sitting listen to old music with a dog at your feet
I know I can still come and see you when I cant sleep either
You are my night owl, and like we say I never mind being a
night owl... its the waking up early that really puts a crick in it.
I love you daddy.
