Lyrics

Sleeping Alone

How can I get used to
How can I forget you
Will I get used to
Sleeping alone

I never used to
How did I get to
Ever get used to
Sleeping alone

Tomorrow is a long time
Forgetting so long
I loved you a lifetime
I loved you long

Someday, somehow
Somewhere down the line
If you save your heart for mine
We'll meet again, we'll meet again

Will I get used to
Can I forget you
Don't want to get used to dancing alone

Love was my shoreline
I stare myself blind
Now was not out time
No I let you down

Someday, somehow
Somewhere down the line
If you save your heart for mine
We'll meet again

Some last, some die
Some love wait till it's time
If you save your heart for mine
We'll meet again
We'll meet again
We'll meet again
We'll meet again
