I Dream About You (But I Cannot Sleep) Lyrics by Jon Astley

The Compleat Angler

0

I'd like to say that I don't care
That I am here and you are there
But I'm not a good liar
Knowledge isn't such a wealth
I'm trying hard to fool myself
But you have me beat
So I lay down and I turn out the light
I get so tired when I close my eyes
I dream about you but I cannot sleep
I want to tell you something new
I wanna spend my life with you
Put my cards on the table
I hold my breath and count to ten
Your perfume lingers on, but then
You had a lot to conceal
There is no problem, just say goodbye
I'm quite content, so tell me why
I dream about you but I cannot sleep
I'll show you a broken heart
You need not look far
Why do I ask for the moon
When we both have the stars?
I'd love to say that I really don't care
But by now, you should be aware
How I miss you every night of the week
I dream about you but I cannot sleep
