"Why Do I Feel This Way"

This morning when I woke
I thought you'd spoke
When I saw your face
Pressed upon the lace
My brain asked me

Why do you feel this way
What makes me stay
Can nothing turn me away
From this spot where I lay

As I read my book
I felt your deep look
Glancing up from the pages
Watching your smile grow in stages
That's when I knew

Why do you feel this way
What makes me stay
Can nothing turn me away
From this spot where I lay

When I lay me down to sleep
I pray my soul, you will keep
Words never clue my mind
Inside I knew I'd find
The answer to those thoughts

Why do you feel this way
What makes me stay
Can nothing turn me away
From this spot where I lay
