I gave you all a girl could give
I wanted us to always live
Together for a whole lifetime
But you lived for woman and wine
You squandered all my hard earned cash
I never thought my dreams you'd smash
But smash you did, broken in two
The damage done you never knew
My weary heart has taken much
Though I still long for one more touch
But you are gone, gone far away
And what I feel few words can say
Chorus
I will sleep and dream of you
Shattered hearts are nothing new
It's something I need to do
Just for tonight
I'll drift away and remember when
A time I was your main woman
Try to dream some good times back again
Just for tonight
Slip underneath my eyelid blind
Subconsciousness can be quite kind
I'll slumber with you on my mind
Just for tonight
You'd paint the town a crimson red
I'd go with all you did and said
And for a time it all looked good
I could only see the trees but I couldn't see the wood
I'd have traipsed with you right to the moon
Turned cart-wheel rings while singing our tune
But when you very nearly sold my soul
I knew right there I'd have to let you go
My weary heart has taken much
Though I still long for one more touch
But you are gone, gone far away
And what I feel few words can say
Chorus
I will sleep and dream of you
Shattered hearts are nothing new
It's something I need to do
Just for tonight
I'll drift away and remember when
A time I was your main woman
Try to dream some good times back again
Just for tonight
Slip underneath my eyelid blind
Subconsciousness can be quite kind
I'll slumber with you on my mind
Just for tonight
