What Haunts Me In The Night

Lay, in my bed, Try to sleep
No sleep comes my way
Close my eyes then I see
What haunts me and Keeps my sleep away

Shake my head; Close my eyes still I see
What haunts me and Keeps my heat so high
Try as I will, Try as I might
I can not push the vision from my sight
What I see is burnt in my memory

Skin the color of ebony
Smile so bright, It lit up the night
A Voice I can still hear, Call to me thru the light
Try as I will, Try as I might
I can not push the vision from my sight
What I see is burnt in my memory

How did this happen
How did I allow this vision
To haunt me so now
What will I do, What will I say
To make it so, I can have my way

I have to have the one
Skin the color of ebony
A Smile so bright, It lights up the night
A Voice that will, Call out to me in the heat of delight

What will I do, What will I say
To make it so, I can have my way
Then maybe the vision, Will go away and
I’ll be able to move on and play
