Well when lights shine low
And I lay down and close my eyes.
I see colours and spinning wheels.
I hear a language I don't understand.
I see people I've not seen for years.
A hold, a magic, in my hands.
I sing songs that I never write.
Cause they're gone by the morning light.(let me dream a while)
Yes and I dream away
And I'm as free as a summer sky.
I swim in oceans turquoise and deep
I lay down in fields of gold
I see mountains snow white and steep.
Though I never feel the cold
I constantly try as I might.
Cause it's gone by the morning light.
So if you find that I am sleeping,
Soft and warn as a child
Would you just let me be
For a moment happy and free.
Ohh won't you please let me dream a while.
Yeah when the night draws in
And I lay down to rest my head
I find boxes of photographs and
Old movies I saw long ago.
I cand still hear my sister laugh.
On the beaches in Mexico.
Where the phosphorescence
Shines beneath the moon.
And a thousand stars that glow
They always fade out so soon
To a place where I just can't go.
Though I hold on the one so tight.
They are gone by the morning light.
