Lyrics

[Verse 1]

When I look up from my pillow

I dream you are there with me

Though you are far away

I know you'll always be near to me

[Chorus]

I go to sleep, sleep

And imagine that you're there with me

I go to sleep, sleep

And imagine that you're there with me

[Verse 2]

I look around me

And feel you are ever so close to me

Each tear that flows from my eye

Brings back memories of you to me

[Chorus]

I go to sleep, sleep

And imagine that you're there with me

I go to sleep, sleep

And imagine that you're there with me

[Bridge]

I was wrong, I will cry

I will love you 'til the day I die

You were all, you alone and no one else

You were meant for me

[Verse 3]

When morning comes again

I have the loneliness you left me

Each day drags by

Until finally night time descends on me

[Chorus]

I go to sleep, sleep

And imagine that you're there with me

I go to sleep, sleep

And imagine that you're there with me
