While You're Sleeping

While you're sleeping

I go places you would not imagine

I dream wide awake dreams that might not ever happen

But I dream 'em anyway

It takes the quiet

To take me to those places

But I hide it

Oh if you ask me to confess

I just deny it

When I lie awake at night

before I close my eyes

I go back to the time with the roses and wine

When it was just us, you were all mine

No night and no day, no world in the way

And a passionate kiss was a place we'd stay

Then the baby cries and it's back to life

From the secrets that I'm keeping

While you're sleeping

I could tell you

How alone I feel

And even if you get it

There's no time to fix it

And I'd regret I said it

So I keep it to myself

These dreams that I don't tell

I go back to the time with the roses and wine

When it was just us, you were all mine

No night and no day, no world in the way

And a passionate kiss was a place we'd stay

Then the baby cries and it's back to life

From the secrets that I'm keeping

While you're sleeping

While you're sleeping

You call it running way

But if that's what it takes

To be here when you wake up

I go back to the time with the roses and wine

When it was just us, you were all mine

No night and no day, no world in the way

And a passionate kiss was a place we'd stay

Then the baby cries and it's back to life

From the secrets that I'm keeping

While you're sleeping

While you're sleeping

While you're sleeping
