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
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
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
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
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
When morning comes once more I have the loneliness you left me
Each day drags by until finally night time descends on me
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
