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
