I lay awake at night and pray

Counting to protest
G A
My mind can't get no rest

Fast asleep where I keep my memories

Calling me out in dreams
He visits me

G A
Will I see him again soon?
Oh oh oh oh
CHORUS 1
Bm A G
Why am I so terrified of waking?
G A Bm
He's gone and I feel I've been forsaken

In sleep is the only place I get to see him, get to love him
