I Go To Sleep
When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you always be near to me
Chorus:
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that youre there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that youre there with me
I look around me and feel
That you are ever so close to me
Those tears that fall from my eyes
Bring back memories of you and me
Chorus
I was wrong, I was right
I will love you till 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 night
Finally descends on me

I Go To Sleep
When I look up from my pillow I dream you are there with me.
Though you are far away I know youll always be near to me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that youre there with me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that youre 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 youre there with me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that youre 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 youre there with me.
I go to sleep, sleep, and imagine that youre there with me.

I Cant Sleep
(kathy louvin/mark collie)
I cant sleep
For dreaming about you
When youre gone
Theres nothing I can do
But lie awake alone
And dream the whole night through
I cant sleep
For dreaming about you
I close my weary eyes
And see your face
I hold my pillow tight
And dream of your embrace
I know that I could use the rest
But my lonely heart cries out for your caress
I cant sleep
For dreaming about you
When youre gone
Theres nothing I can do
But lie awake alone
And dream the whole night through
I cant sleep
For dreaming about you
They say that absence makes a love grow stronger
But I dont believe my empty arms can hold out any longer
I cant sleep
For dreaming about you
When youre gone
Theres nothing I can do
But lie awake alone
And dream the whole night through
I cant sleep
For dreaming about you
I cant sleep
For dreaming about you

Sleep Tight
Sleep Tight
Now hush
My little one
Don't be afraid
Your daddy's right here
It's just
A little dream
And now it's gone
There's nothing to fear
So close your eyes
I'll sing a sweet lullaby
Lay your head close to my heart
(chorus)
And sleep tight
The angels hover over you
They spread their wings
To keep you safe and warm
The starlight
In the heavens high above you
Will light a path
To find your way back home
Sleep tight
And now
My sleepy head
Your carriage waits
To take you off to bed
Let go
Your tiny hands
And drift away
To a bright enchanted land
I promise you
Your sweetest dreams will come true
Now leave this weary world behind
(chorus)
So close your eyes
And wish upon the brightest star
'cause when you dream
It doesn't matter where you are
Near to me or very far
I'll always be with you
(whispered)
sleep tight
sleep tight
sleep tight
(chorus
Yeah I'll keep you safe
Safe and warm

Beautiful Daughter
There we go, running before we can walk again
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, see her face again
Blast the world, fruits of the morning...
Carry the weight of the heart in a storm
Suffer the dawn today, today
Your beautiful daughter made me younger today
Beautiful daughter, now the darkness hides the tears that soak
The pillow where she lay
Wide awake, lying in wait for the moon to break
Drinking the lake of the dreams that we share
Wanting you there today, today
Chorus
Can you believe she just dropped in to say goodbye, say goodbye
Im crying, beautiful daughter give me more, open the door
Pools in her eyes that are bright and deep
Can you imagine the hours I keep
Learning to sleep again, again
Chorus
Chorus
Beautiful daughter give me more, open the door

Dreams
Eyes of green and hair like golden aches
Deeper than the ocean or the seas
Dogs howlin when love was spoken
Nests were made then hearts were broken
Love is not always just as it seems
Chorus
But I can dream of you tonight wake to find youre not around
I can sleep without the light shadows hound then fall behind
I can dream of you until Im blue
But that wont change that youre not here in my life
Hold me now and spread your wings my darling
Ill wash away the morning tears you leave
Stars were bright and sails were charted
Mountains crumbled when we parted
Love is not always what it seems
Chorus
We wal through doors that are uncertain
Hoping this time will be different
But Im not sure that life works out that way

Dedicated to ppl who dont sleep
Sleep, sleep, sleep
It’s magnificent and nice,
With dreams beyond wonder,
Sleep! sleep! sleep!
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Eyes tightly closed,
A little smile on you r cheeks,
Feeling the ambiance
Of the pure and precious sleep,
Sleep! sleep! sleep!
Sleep, sleep, sleep
Forgetting insane things of the mixed world outside
Relax my dear, feel the gentle breeze,
Do not worry about tomorrow, do not weep,
Wake up fresh in the morning with a recuperate mind,
Fresh and blessed with a wonderful sleep,
SLEEP, SLEEP, SLEEP!

Outside331’sSleep
Don’t open your eyes yet not until I explain last night I went to bed with Sleep last night I fell for Sleep last night Sleep unclothed me left me naked in a room painted black I couldn’t see Sleep because Sleep was dark too and the room was black and the foreground blended in with the background I couldn’t tell what was far and what was close I became frustrated because Sleep was either hiding inside the room or the room was hiding behind Sleep neither were being fair to my eyes who wanted to play hide and go Sleep I hide inside the room and Sleep seeks I said where are you Sleep I can’t see you my eyes can’t find you Sleep I said I wanted to fall inside you brought me into this black room and I am trying to wrap myself around you won’t you come inside of me you won’t stage scenes in my eyes created with color everything is black one long stretch Sleep are you moving and I can’t see you or are you standing still and I can’t feel you are here Sleep you are silent Sleep I feel alone Sleep I want you to be inside me if you take me to a black room and make me go to bed are your eyes open I can’t see you did you leave is Sleep here Sleep am I inside you explain Sleep explain did you open your eyes Sleep are my eyes open Sleep are you outside me Sleep you took me to bed and left me Sleep I can’t open my eyes until you are back inside me I can’t see Sleep when you’re not inside me open your eyes Sleep do you see me inside you explain last night am I still inside Sleep?

Platinum Blonde Life
I'm closing all the curtains
So don't you even bother
And I'm calling out the murder
But I'm underneath the covers
But who's fooling who
With this mood like a train
Watch me roll over
Get out of my way
[Chorus:]
There's a knock on my door
But I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes
And maybe it will go away
I want a platinum blonde life
So I keep bleaching out the colors
I try to do what I oughta
But never drink enough water
Where did my lover go?
I really wish he could stay
I feel it's empty as a widow
I'm gonna sleep it all away
[Repeat chorus]
I'm gonna sleep all trough the day
I'm gonna asleep my life away
I'm gonna sleep all through the day
I'm gonna sleep myself away
I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it'll go away
[Repeat chorus]
I'm gonna close my eyes and maybe it will go away

Promise Of You
Chorus:the promise of you it sleeps in the air the air that I breathe and i
Know that its true dont have to convince myself to believe
What secrets sleep in the heart of a man
And so much love wasted it slip right through my hands you see it in the eyes
Of the lonely as they make their weary way shimmer in the eyes of the longing
And I hear it say
Chorus
To believe
What secrets sleep in the heart of the night and my dreams of salvation are
Slipping out of sight in the shimmering moments of the twilight the closing
Of the tide whisper on the wind of a rescue savior in time
Chorus
And all this time Ive been fighting my own private war and all this time
Youre the peace I searched for
Chorus
Yeah

How Do You Sleep ?
So sgt. pepper took you by surprise
You better see right through that mothers eyes
Those freaks was right when they said you was dead
The one mistake you made was in your head
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
You live with straights who tell you you was king
Jump when your momma tell you anything
The only thing you done was yesterday
And since youre gone youre just another day
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?
A pretty face may last a year or two
But pretty soon theyll see what you can do
The sound you make is muzak to my ears
You must have learned something in all those years
Ah, how do you sleep?
Ah, how do you sleep at night?

Desperately
Every night its the same
I hear you callin my name
Youre lyin next to me
I give into your charms
You disappear in my arms
I realize its just a dream, but
Chorus:
Desperately, I long to feel your touch
But you left me all alone in love
And now I
Shake the sleep from my head
And try to crawl out of bed
Today is just another day
I make the coffee for one
I turn the radio on
Pretend that everythings ok, but
Chorus
And now I
Know theres no reason to smile
Its gonna take me awhile
Cause I still love you desperately
Chorus
And now I
Watch the sun goin down
There aint nobody around
I feel a night in the breeze
I keep on tellin myself
I dont need nobody else
And I can do as I please, but

And now I

And now
Every night its the same
I hear you callin my name

How Do You Sleep At Night
(jim mcbride/jerry salley)
I havent had a good nights sleep
In weeks now thanks to you
The ghost of broken promises you made
Haunts every room
A hurtin heart cant get no rest round here
I lie awake and wonder how
Your conscience could be clear
How do you sleep at night
Do you toss and turn till the morning light
Does the darkness help
When you lie down with the truth?
How do you sleep at night?
Are you all alone or do you hold someone tight
Do you see me
When you close your eyes?
How do you sleep at night?
Now your side of the beds as cold
As the lies that I believed
Im at the point when I cant even
Trust you in my dreams
Did the way you left me leave you feelin proud?
Or does the loneliness come callin
When the sun goes down?
How do you sleep at night
Do you toss and turn till the morning light
Does the darkness help
When you lie down with the truth
How do you sleep at night
Are you all alone or do you hold someone tight
Do you see me
When you close your eyes
How do you sleep at night

Everything You Do
I love the way you smile when I look in your eyes
I love the way you laugh when I try to be funny
And how the tears roll down your face
When I say no one could ever take your place
[Chorus:]
Cause baby when you sleep I watch you breathing
Baby when you dream I dream with you
Cause everywehre you are is where I want to be
it's true
Everything you do makes me know how much I love you
The way you touch my lips right after every kiss
And softly whisper that I'm your everything
The way you pray our love won't die
Everynight just before you close your eyes
[Repeat Chorus]
And I believe some things are meant to be
Sure as there is love yours was meant for me

La La La Song
there is no substitution
for the way i feel
didn't know this could be real
don't want no explanation
for what is on my mind
cause i'm doing fine
if it's a dream then let me sleep
only wake me when
you're in my arms again
chorus:
i've been waiting for a while
now you gave me the reason why
i was holding on singing la la la la la
if it's an illusion let it flow
right or wrong i don't wanna know
keep it coming baby la la la la la
don't need no complications
you can not conseal
what the heart reveals
how ever long it's gonna last
and where it goes
if a fortune teller says
i don't even need to know
chorus
the principle of love is that
when you get enough
then you can give it back
if it's a dream then let me sleep
only wake me when
you're in my arms again

Cant Deny
Its late at night and no ones around
And only my heart is making a sound
I lay awake alone in my bed
And I cant sleep should I call you instead
I think of you far too much cause you, youre one of a kind
Im not like an open book
cause Ive got something in mind
Chorus:
You know I cant deny the way I feel inside
I wont be hiding my love
You know I cant disguise youre always on my mind
And now I cant get enough
Give me love, I know that you can
I like the strength of a confident man
Its in my blood and all through my veins
You feel it once and youre never the same
Whenever I close my eyes youre there. I feel it inside
But why am I holding in my love, I cant tell you why
Repeat chorus
I think of you far too much cause you, youre one of a kind
Im not like an open book cause Ive got something in mind
You know i, you know i, I cant deny
Every day youre always on my mind
You know I , you know i, I cant disguise
Cant deny the way I feel inside

Now I See
woke up in a dream today
To the cold of the staticand put my cold feet on the floor
Forgot all about yesterday
Remembering Im pretending to be who Im not anymore
A little taste of hypocrisy
And Im left in the wake of the mistakeslow to react
So even though youre so close to me
Youre still so distantand I cant bring you back
Chorus:
Its true the way I feel
Was promised by your face
The sound of your voice
Painted on my memories
Even if youre not with me
Im with you
Younow I seekeeping everything inside
With you
Younow I seeeven when I close my eyes
I hit you and you hit me back
We fall to the floorthe rest of the day stands still
Fine line between this and that
When things go wrong I pretend the past isnt real
Now I'm trapped in this memory
And Im left in the wake of the mistakeslow to react
So Even though youre close to me
Youre still so distant that I cant bring you back
[Chorus]
With you
Younow I seekeeping everything inside
With you
Younow I seeeven when I close my eyes
No
No matter how far we've come
I can't wait to see tomorrow
No matter how far we've come I
I can't wait to see tomorrow

Younow I seekeeping everything inside

Remembering Haiti
Imagine waking up from sleep
and be imprisoned by the heap
of rubbles and other falling debris!
Imagine waking up from sleep
and seeing your own home
swallowed by the open mouth of earth!
Imagine waking up from sleep
and knowing that your loved ones
cannot wake up from death!
Haiti, we lament with you!
We share your tears
as you try to rub your eyes
from the deep sleep of
loss, pain and sorrow!
