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

[Instrumental]

I look around me and

Feel you are ever so close to me

Each tear that flows from my eyes

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 to the day I die

You alone, you alone and no one else

You were meant for me

[Instrumental]

When morning comes once more

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
