Lyrics
Lay back- shuffle through my memories
The one that got to me was the one that set me off
Last night- I heard her say my name
My mind is playin' games- still I knew she'd make that call
(chorus)
Don't let them wake me up I'm so far gone
Is it just a dream or an ever lasting notion
Every time I close my eyes I find myself
Holding her close to me
I'll never let her go
I'll never let her go
Slow down we ride that never ending plane
The night-time took our day and the clocks are all turned off
Lay around- you better take that one last look at me
I'm sliding from my dream
An aggravation turned me off
(chorus)
Don't let them wake me up I'm so far gone
Is it just a dream or an ever lasting notion
Every time I close my eyes I find myself
Holding her close to me
I'll never let her go
I'll never let her go
(solo)
(chorus)
Don't let them wake me up I'm so far gone
Is it just a dream or an ever lasting notion
Every time I close my eyes I find myself
Holding her close to me
I'll never let her go
I'll never let her go
I'll never let you go...
