Sleepless

You
You're lying next to me in bed.
A thousand thoughts go rushing through my head.
I turn and kiss your sleeping face instead.

You
You wrestle with the sheets and cling to me.
Just to watch you sleeping perfectly,
There's nowhere else on earth i'd rather be.

Now i never intend to harm you
But there's a chance you know i will.
And if i do, i'm sorry baby.
I'll try harder still.

If ever we say goodbye
I want you to hold inside
The knowledge that you'll always have
My true undying love.
If the angels above provide
On a chariot i will ride
Back into your arms so that
We never have to say goodbye.
Goodbye.

Time
You and i both have our histories.
Now things that came before us cease to be.
And all the ghosts inside you
You can set them free.

Now i never intend to wrong you.
That was never in my plan.
But if i do, i'm sorry baby.
I just want to be your man.

If the last day comes tomorrow
And the stars fall from the sky,
Only then can i release you
'cause i know that all angels have to fly.

[chorus]

The midnight sky is starless
But an autumn moon it calls to me.
Like a tide tongues round an island,
How your naked soul it calls to me.
I come to you in silence.
I sing to you with breath alone.
We'll be each other's tyrants
Or maybe passion's slaves gone overboard.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.
Let me dream with you in sleepless love.

The midnight air enfolds us
As silken shadows glide in sweet caress.
And nature's hand controls us.
So let us drink the wine of carelessness
If cosmic fates entomb us
Let the fires burn from well within
And from hunger's pool consume us.
Let the perfect nameless dance begin.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.
Let me dream with you
Let me dream with you
Let me dream with you in sleepless love.

Here in the darkness
Isn't where the passion ever starts.
We float together,
The deepest hungers happening in the heart.

The midnight sky is starless
But an autumn moon it calls to me.
Like a tide tongues round an island,
How your naked soul it calls to me.
I come to you in silence.
I sing to you with breath alone.
We'll be each other's tyrants
Or maybe passion's slaves gone overboard.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.
Let me dream with you
Let me dream with you
Let me dream with you in sleepless love.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.

Let me dream with you in sleepless love.

Let me call you baby
Let me call you sweety pie
Say you wanna be my lady
'cause you're more than a friend o'mine.
Say you'll be my sugar dumplin'
My hugga-nugga love divine.
Tell me that you wanna be my baby till the end of time.

It's five o'clock in the morning
And we're up lounging with the moon.
Day is fast approaching
And i'll be leaving soon.
It's not long till it's on again
And you're calling, calling, calling to me.
And i know i won't be leaving
'cause i can't let you be.

[chorus]

Can i tell 'em that i'm down with you?
Can i tell the world you love me to?
I just wanna know how it is.
Ain't nobody gonna mess with this.
I don't wanna play around no more.
Here's my heart
Now tell me what it's for.

Tell me that you wanna be my baby till the end of time.
Tell my that you wanna be my baby till the end of time.

I just wanna call you baby.
I just wanna be your man.
I just wanna call you baby.
I just wanna be your man.

[chorus]

Our song used to be my lullaby
Now it's just a tune from days gone by
Now it only haunts me in my sleep
And i soak my pillow when i weep
I drop my tears
I drop my tears.

I remember when we danced
Then world fell away but my heart held to you.
I remember when we fell in love
I close my eyes. i can still believe you're here.
I remember when you left.
I cried as i prayed i would soon forget you.
I never will. i never will.

With loneliness, i wonder 'round in shame
As memories of you run down like rain.
Asleep at night i still call out your name.
As the storm clouds beat a cold refrain
Against my window pane.

[chorus]

I know that life is simpler now
But is it even worthwhile?
I said was it all worth it, baby?

I know that he's the safer bet
But i'm the best you had yet.
There ain't no denying
I ain't even tryin' to get over my baby
No, no, no....

[chorus]

Everybody's high on consolation.
Everybody's trying to tell me what is right for me.
I need a drink and a quick decision.
Now it's all up to me
Just what will be.

She's gone
Oh i, oh i
I gotta learn how to face it.
She's gone.
Oh i, oh i
I'd pay the devil to replace her.
She's gone
Oh i
What went wrong.

Got up in the mornin'
Look in the mirror.
I'm warn as a toothbrush hanging in the stand.
My face ain't lookin' any younger.
Now all i can see is love takin' her toll on me.

[chorus]

Think i'll spend eternity in the city.
The carbon monoxide chokes my thoughts away.
And the girls help dissolve the memories.
But they can never be what she was to me.

[chorus]

Looks like it had (baby)
My day in the sun (baby)
There's no more sunshine
And i miss you babe.

The world starts to move around me
And i should get up soon baby
But there nothing in me
And i miss you babe.
I miss you babe.

There was a time
When nothing much mattered to me
Now everything hurts
And i miss you babe.
I miss you babe.

When you were here
When you were here
This whole world was in my hands
And i miss you babe.
I miss you babe.
I miss you babe.

I should get up soon.
And start a whole new life without you, baby.
But it's not really living.
And i miss you babe.
I miss you baby.

I never knew no kind of flame before
I never knew a love to run up so fast
Just to run me down.
I never new a girl to take my love so strong
Just to leave me lonely come summer's end.

I'd gladly let the ladies pass me by
Just to save me heartache.

Don't tell me that you love me
Don't tell me that you'll keep me in your heart
Don't tell me that i must be strong 'cause you're moving on
Just say you'll love me into the dawn.

All i ever wanted was some good times.
But now it's gone and grown so bad --
I need you so.
I tried to hide my love with pride
But girl you saw right through me.
Yes, you know the score.
You know the score.

If the time should come
You find that you are leaving.
If the time should come you find you must go...

Don't tell me that you love me
Don't tell me that you'll keep me in you're heart
Don't tell me that i must be strong
That you're moving on
Just say you'll love me into the dawn.

You don't have to school me
'cause i know the time.
You're headed back to your man.
But if i could go back with you where you are
I would stay there with you.
Then the summer ended
And the day did come when you would go
But don't you start to cry
Just hold on...

And don't tell me that you love me...


Chorus:
Don't tell me
Into the dawn
But if i, i could go back with you where you are
I would stay, i would stay there with you.
