"And my eyes shut tight as the eyes of dark slip away

And I'll drift through dreams till the dawn of the day

When the sun comes up and I'll be here alone

Time plays the same joke again

Where it drags out forever a longer

Always could last only seconds as shorter

Those sweet hours when you're here by my side



And all these days are never ending

All the time life grew long and bye

I'll sleep long and well tonight

Because in dreams you're in my sight

When eyelids shut I'm not lonely anymore

And everything within the world is right



And a voice on wire is a sad replication if best put

The phone is the only means that I have

To bridge the lonely distance back to you

Hang up and long for your touch

Which I've missed now for weeks since aside

That being apart isn't easier with time

I can only count the seconds until I hold



And all these days are never ending

All the time life grew long and bye

I'll sleep long and well tonight

Because in dreams you're in my sight

When eyelids shut I'm not lonely anymore

And everything within the world is right



I'll sleep long and well tonight

Because in dreams you're in my sight

When eyelids shut I'm not lonely anymore

And everything within the world is right"
