lyrics

Dream

Every night when you are sleeping, he is never far away.
When you wake up in the morning he is always miles away.
He can climb through any window. He can sneak through any door.
Watch him crawl through all your windows see him sneak through all your doors.

I - I watch you dreaming. You - you think I’m asleep.
And – while you were dreaming, I – I couldn’t sleep.
I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t sleep.

A deep breath in another city. Takes the air in a different town.
But every night when you are sleeping, he is never far away.
He can climb through any window. He can sneak through any door.
Watch him crawl through all your windows see him sneak through all your doors.

I - I watch you dreaming. You - you think I’m asleep.
And – while you were dreaming, I – I couldn’t sleep.
I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t sleep. I couldn’t sleep.

Lyrics by Terry Welbourn © 1980 : Leeds Music Ltd/Express Songs
