Lyrics

when you sleep

When I look at you
Oh, I don't know what's real
Once in a while
And you make me laugh
And I'll sleep tomorrow
And it won't be long
Won't stand around
Then you take me down
When you walk away

When you say: I do
Oh, I don't believe you
I can't forget it
No, ooh
When you sleep tomorrow
And it won't be long
Once in a while
When you make me smile
When you turn your long blonde hair

When I look at you
Oh, I don't know what's real
Once in a while
And you make me laugh
And I'll sleep tomorrow
And it won't be long
Won't stand around
Then you take me down
When you walk away
