I was scared to death   Afraid to close my eyes   And find that I was gone   Like every other one   Who left before the dawn   I vanished in the air   Am I still there   Wake me gently   If you can Wake me gently   Just touch my hand   Wake me gently   Pull my sleeve   'Cuz where I'm at   Is where I want to leave   And in my sleep   I look so lifeless on this bed   Laid out on satin sheets   This dream's a novel   That I don't dare complete   No happy ending read   I think the hero's dead   Wake me gently   If you can   Wake me gently   Just touch my hand   Wake me gently   Pull my sleeve   'Cuz where I'm at   Is where I want to leave   Me to my slumber   And I'll never come home   Please help me, I'm frightened   Of what's going on   What's going on   And if I can't wake up Will I be all alone   A stranded orphan here   Or will I bump into   Some other wandering soul   And will they talk to me   Somebody, somebody please rescue me   Wake me gently   If you can   Wake me gently   Just touch my hand   Wake me gently   Pull my sleeve   'Cuz where I'm at   Is where I want to leave   I wanna leave   I wanna leave   I wanna wake up   I wanna leave   I don't wanna stay   I wanna leave   I wanna go   I wanna go home   I wanna go home   Just wake me up   I wanna go home   Wake me up please   'Cuz I wanna go home   I wanna go home   Wake me   Wake me
