|
Holdin' on tight to my pillow
|
Wish it had a life of its own,
|
Starin' at the ceilin,'
|
Such a funny feelin,'
|
But nobody's home.
|
But I know you're out there somewhere
|
And that you feel the same way too,
|
Now my only problem is trying to find
|
A way of getting through to you.
|
|
There's a lot of lonely people tonight,
|
Trying to make it through 'til the morning light.
|
There's me and you, babe, that's alright,
|
There's a lot of lonely people tonight.
|
|
I guess we share the same old dream
|
Or maybe it's the same old lie,
|
There's only one thing I'm sure of, babe
|
And that's our time keeps rolling by.
|
And far too many days run out
|
And nights begin this way,
|
With my half of a hopeful couple
|
Trying to hold the dark at bay.
|
Meet me on a city street
|
Meet me by a country stream,
|
Meet me on a mountain top
|
But don't you meet me in my dreams.
|
Meet me tomorrow morning
|
Baby, maybe you met me back when,
|
You can meet me now inside this song
|
'Cause I don't wanna sleep alone again.
|
