• While I'm asleep the world is ok
    and while i am dreaming you've not gone away

    I wake every day to a phone that wont ring
    then i spend that sad day unable to sing

    Throughout the long day true memories rain
    causing me nothing but sadness and pain

    but as the sun fades and dark takes the sky
    in the flame of my heart, sparks of light start to fly

    for in the world of dreams my hope is not dead
    and i travel the land as i lay in my bed

    my dreams, they take hold and wisk me away
    to a fantasy land, lit with loves shining rays

    sometimes their happy and sometimes their sad
    but in every one life is not so bad

    for in every one you are there by my side
    brighting my heart in a beautiful lie

    but with the suns rising, the truth takes strong hold
    and all over again the memories unfold

    of the day that i met you and we became friends
    of the time that we shared never seeing the end

    of the hundreds of hours we spent on the phone
    i was unable to see that i would soon be alone

    of knowing i love you but unable to say
    of knowing your leaving but praying you'll stay

    i remember the year, i then spent in wait
    fighting with hope but knowing my fate

    and so this day too, i must endure
    but the night is coming sweet and sure

    because while I'm asleep the world is ok
    and while i am dreaming you've not gone away
