rest
Lay me down softly
So I can get some rest
Let me feel a calmness
Beside someone I love best
Though the touching leads
To nowhere but to know
How we hold each other
In our hearts we won't let go
This rest in my mind is all I need
Refreshing a spirit living in me
A perfect peace with someone I see
The rest of my life will always be
The best with you
Can this be better
Than really making love
When I feel your body
If we only share a hug
We can talk til dawn
And let our feelings out
I know the rest will come
Quiet love that isn't loud
This rest in my mind is all I need
Refreshing a spirit living in me
A perfect peace with someone I see
The rest of my life will always be
The best with you
Your response is worth the wait
It will come and not too late
We both can say, "You sure were great"
Let's rest a while for another day
This rest in my mind is all I need
Refreshing a spirit living in me
A perfect peace with someone I see
The rest of my life will always be
The best with you
