Sometimes it's all that I can do
to close my eyes and think of you
In the flash of the moment
your smile - surrounds me
and it's all that I can do
just think of you - think of you
When you look into my eyes
When I feel your lips upon mine
feel your lips upon mine
and then it overflows
the love I feel
when you look into my eyes
when I feel your lips upon mine
feel your lips upon mine
Our love is overflowing
And it's because of you
my dreams they always come true
and kisses are always new
as you live in my heart
as you live in my heart
Dreams - oh my dreams
don't slip away
stay with me yet, another day
another day
Dreams - oh my dreams
don't fade away
where will I go if you - if you
don't stay - don't stay
Sweet are the memories -
of you
tell me my lover
what you want me to do
Dreams - oh my dreams
don't slip away
stay with me yet,
till the end of my time
Dreams - oh my dreams
don't fade away
don't fade away
don't fade away
Dream lover
Dream lover
Open your heart - free your mind
Open your eyes - then you’ll realize
that you’re running – running out of time
you're running out of time
I woke up this morning didn’t let go of the bed
last night I promised it would be different
that’s at least what I said - that’s at least what I said
But the sun came up and the sun hadn’t changed
so why should I, why should I
Birds sing their lullaby
And the world keeps spinning around
the world keeps spinning around - the world keeps
spinning around
I watched a debate in my bed while I ate
oysters and crackers and hate
and a suicide note that she read as a joke
but the mommy is dead
and her 2 year old is missing from his bed.
missing from his bed
and the world keeps spinning round
the world keeps spinning round
And I think too much about what never was
instead of is, instead of hope
will there ever be - will there ever be in this world
And the sun came up and the sun hadn’t changed
so why should I, why should I
Birds sing their Lullaby - Birds sing their Lullaby –
spinning around -the world keeps spinning around
Sing their Lullaby
Sing their lullaby
Sing their lullaby
I see things not quite the way they are
My mind works in the abstract -
not just sometimes
You and me, what's left?
a formality
because you and me ain't got
no reality
And it's been some time
since I held you close
and my arms are still empty without you
And it's been some time
since I looked into your eyes
and you looked back at me with a smile
I don't ask for those dreams I have with you
But please don't leave my sleepless nights
All my friends shake their heads
<come on get over it
wake up
come on live life a little bit
move on >
And it's been some time - been some time
since I held you close - held you close
And my arms are still empty without you.....
