I wake up sometimes at night

I wake up sometimes at night;
The dark is still there
It is not yet light

I try to remember why
I woke up; and there
Right beside me you lie

I remember now; 'twas your hand
It had slipped from where
It should be; in my hand!

I take back your hand slowly
And squeeze it very very softly
I look at your face; my angel asleep!

At last i can go back to sleep
