Cheat and Lie

When I can’t sleep you’re the dream I miss
Your patient eyes and the sweet of your kiss
And at the end of the day if there’s one thing I need it’s this
‘Cause when the moon tucks in the sun
And whispers goodnight ‘til the morning comes
And the stars come out, my mind it starts to run
With my imagination

Chorus:
Oh I’m not tired, but I’ll close my eyes
I’d count sheep for the rest of my life
I would cheat and lie to see you one more time

And when the night wind sings her song
I’m dancing with you all evening long
Who’d have thought I could be this far gone
For a dream? Like silhouettes
The taste of your name on my weary lips
When did sleepers’ fates start placing bets?
Well, I forget

Chorus

But now when I wake up in the early morn
I get to wishing that I’d never been born
I’ve got reason to be forlorn
Because the night led me on
And broke my heart in two at dawn
Now the girl of my dreams is gone
But not for long

Chorus
