Dream Sleep
I lay awake in the wee hours of the night
can't get no sleep when you're out of my sight
I hear a whisper in the dark whenever we're apart
could it really be you or the pounding of my heart
Sometimes I see your face up in the cloud
You're staring in my face and laughing out loud
I feel a love tap upon my shoulder
It looks like you just a little bit older
I pick up the phone to make a call
Then suddenly the cord rips from the wall
I scream out loud Oh! what could it be
You answer in a soft brisk voice my sweet it's only me
No need to fret or even scream, the truth of the matter is
It's only a dream.
