Smile In Your Sleep Lyrics - Kari Rueslatten

behind my new face 

i'm the same as i've always been 

wondering how you are 

if i am your mother still 

i'm wearing the denim dress 

and my hair is the same way 

i want you to remember 

and to keep me alive 

this time of year 

i'd give my life to live 

out there with you 

and watch you smile in your sleep 

i see you across the room 

i fear that i cannot even breathe 

oh gosh, how you have grown 

you're nearly as tall as myself 

i want everyone to notice 

just how proud you make me feel 

instead i say nothing 

and then you head for the door
