| In this fading realm of silent dreams
|
| All falls quiet in front of me
|
| I have to think, I must believe
|
| That this is only sleep
|
| As the day has tread into the night
|
| And memory is painted white
|
| A kiss will carry you away
|
| And find us another place
|
| Still I want again to hold your hand
|
| A moment more to understand
|
| How much it means, these little things
|
| To savor one more smile
|
| But in the silence nothing stirs
|
| Not a rising breath to reassure
|
| So I hang my head and hold you close
|
| For this is only sleep
|
| And that’s the way I watch the sky
|
| With a simple prayer to sail her by I have to think, I must believe
|
| That this is only sleep
|
| Only sleep, only sleep
|
| Only sleep, only sleep
|
| If morning comes and all is quiet
|
| A liftetime dances in my mind
|
| But I have to think, I must believe
|
| That this is only sleep,
|
| And that’s the way I watch the sky
|
| With a simple prayer to sail her by I have to think, I must believe
|
| That this is only sleep
|
| Only sleep, only sleep
|
| Only sleep, only sleep
|
| And that’s the way I watch the sky
|
| With a simple prayer to sail her by I have to think, I must believe
|
| That this is only sleep
|
| I have to think, I must believe
|
| That this is only sleep
|
| Only sleep… |
