Lyrics
Sleep
Be quick tonight
Come ease my mind from painful recollection
Oh my body
Yearns for your touch
But you won't be here to warm me with affection
Oh Sleep..
Just sleep
Sleep
I can't close my eyes
I keep on trying and trying - but I lose my perspective
I can take it
I'm all alone
I don't need anyone.
You're just my obsession
So I sleep
Sleep
You and me
We used to sing...
La dee dah dah, La dee dah dee yay
La dee dah dah, La dee dah dee yay
I don't know why
I really don't
I can't close my eyes
I don't know why
I really don't
I can't close my eyes
Sleep, Dream - Sweet dreams
Through the night
My mind keeps playing tricks on me
I wake up alone and my body
Yearns for your touch
But you won't be there to warm me with perfection
Oh Sleep
Just sleep
La dee dah dah, La dee dah dee yay
La dee dah dah, La dee dah dee yay
