This is the time when you need a friend You just need someone near I'm not looking forward to the night I'll spend thinking of you when you're not here How many times will I think about the things I'd like to do Always denied the right to live my life the way I want I want to share it with you Close your eyes I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams Close your eyes I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams I'll think of your kiss as the days roll by And I'll write the words you love What I can't say in a letter Will just have to wait till I get home There's not much time to tell you Half the things I should Only that I'm so glad I fell in love with you And I'd do it again if I could Close your eyes I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams Close your eyes I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams Sleep like a child resting deep You don't know what you give me I keep For these moments alone
