Wake Up Smiling

I see visions of you inside my head and I wake up smiling again.
With eyes wide closed and snuggled in the covers,
I feel safe and loved, and I am warm and calm.
But when the sandman comes, I'm always sad and scared
Because the demons come and the nightmares suck,
But lately, they've been kept away by someone. You.
I dream of being hidden in your arms and I wake up smiling again.
Falling asleep and running through the mazes is always nerve-wrecking,
An endless chase to hit the finish line in time to catch you
And often, I am quite successful
I dream of being hidden in your arms and I wake up smiling again.
I smell you inside my dreams and I wake up smiling again.
I feel you wrapped around me and I wake up smiling again.
