Lyrics
When You Dream © 2012 Ken Kahn
Come back to bed, cheri, and spend a few more moments just like this.
Come lie down next to me and tell me where you were when we just kissed.
Were you alone among the stars, were you a million miles away?
Or were you driving in your car on some exotic lost highway?
The wind is shivering the glass and now it fogs with winter steam.
There's one small favor I would ask: Just take me with you when you dream.
Come back to bed, cheri, I want to closely study each detail,
Consign each one to memory to illustrate this lover's tale.
All of that time I spent alone, all of that kiss and never tell.
I know that hope, it never dies, we only hide it from ourselves.
So now I dare believe that this is real and you are what you seem.
There's one small favor I would ask: Just take me with you when you dream.
These secrets that we guard, this still horizon.
Watch as this lonely heart makes up the bed it lies in.
But now I close the distance, surrender my resistance,
And fit in with your general scheme: Just take me with you when you dream.
Come back to bed, cheri, and spend a few more moments just like this...
