Beautiful Boy

I love the Rebuild of Evangelion movies (haven't watched the original series), but I love the theme song - Utada Hikaru's "Beautiful World" even more. When I heard the song at the end of the first movie I was really touched (as I've heard the song before, with the fact that it was produced for the movie unbeknown to me).

There's a particular part of the lyrics that I can't seem to get off my mind:
君の側で眠らせて / kimi no soba de nemurasete / let me sleep by your side

My beautiful boy, I wonder if I will have the chance to sleep by your side again...
