I sleep to escape the bitterness reality has to offer I sleep so from pain I won’t have to suffer I sleep to calm my unrested soul even for a while I sleep to get myself to dream and smile I sleep so I won’t have to say goodbye To the same thing that makes me laugh and cry I sleep so I can continue loving with all my heart Perhaps in my sleep we will never be apart If in my dreams you can return my love too Then I won’t have to wake up and be blue If in my dreams we can be together I would sleep forever

Why do you sleep?
I sleep to escape the bitterness reality has to offer I sleep so from pain I won’t have to suffer I sleep to calm my unrested soul even for a while I sleep to get myself to dream and smile I sleep so I won’t have to say goodbye To the same thing that makes me laugh and cry I sleep so I can continue loving with all my heart Perhaps in my sleep we will never be apart If in my dreams you can return my love too Then I won’t have to wake up and be blue If in my dreams we can be together I would sleep forever
