As Quiet As
As quiet as a whisper
Tiptoeing through the night
As quiet as a dream
Before the dawn of light.
As quiet as the dew drops
Settling on the lawn,
As quiet as the sun
Right before the dawn.
As quiet as a the starlight
In the blackness so feared.
As quiet as a breeze
Blowing through the air.
As quiet as your sighing
When you think I’m not there.
As quiet as my heartbeat
When I’m in your arms.
As quiet as your promise
That you’ll keep me from all harms.
