While she sleeps
Lying on the bed beside her
While she sleeps
Rain falls gently on the tin roof
Soothing her, soothing me

While she dreams
A smile crosses her face so peaceful
While she dreams
I swear I'll never do her wrong
Swear I'll never do her wrong

Never
Never did I imagine
Thought I was above love
Chased her through a garden
Greener than her eyes
She was my game

Cheerful Mary in the rain
Flowers grow with every step she takes
Hand in hand the statues dance
Music is her laughter
I push her on the garden swing
Then we walk together down pebbled paths

Make love to the morning
Basking in the glory of a new day
Her scent fresh on my fingers
Now I'm on my way
To the clouds

(Solo)

While she sleeps
I thank God for my good fortune
While she dreams
I bend down and I softly kiss her
She stirs, she awakes
We listen to the rain
