From: GUEST,fmspinc@mindspring.com

Hello, I am not sure this is where to get help or not; I have tried (every) lyric site (in the world). I am looking for a song that starts " While you were asleep I was kissing your forehead, you gave a sigh so I kissed you again......." I have heard this song on the radio (mid 80's ??) by some pop singer (I had though it was Dan Folgleberg) and years later I has it on a childrens lullabye tape for my daughter. Now I can not find it ANYWHERE. What help is avail.

Thank you, Frank Silver

The song was written by Grahm Nash or at least he recorded it on his first Solo album.
When you were asleep I was kissing your forehead, you gave a frown so I kissed you again, You started waking put your arms 'round my waist, just making sure I was there then you drifted away, then you drifted away
that's as much as I recall I haven't don that one in many years. If you PM me with your email I'll see if I can come up with the rest, but it will take a few days, Charcloth

OK I dug up my old Graham Nash "Songs for Beginners" LP. The title of the song is "Sleep Song" The Second verse is as follows
And When I awoke, I found out I'd been dreaming, some of my bed clothes were still on the floor, I looked around realized you were leaving me, I saw the back of your dress, as you slipped through the door. as you slipped through the door.
I will get the rest later, Charcloth

OK Verse 3
And when I return,I will kiss your eyes open,Take off my clothes, And I'll lie by your side, Then I will wait till the sandman is done with you, and as you sleepily rise you'll find I'll be there, you'll find I'll be there, There, there
I hope this what you were looking for, take care, Charcloth
