and my eyes shut tight as the hours of dark slip away   and i'll drift through dreams til the end of the day   when the sun comes up and i'll be here alone      time plays the same joke again where it drags on forever or longer   moments that last only seconds or shorter and those sweet hours where you're here by my side      and all these days are never ending   over twilight through dawn they fly   i'll sleep long and well tonight   because in dreams you're in my sight   and with eyelids shut   i'm not lonely anymore   and everything within the world is right      and a voice on wire is a sad replecation at best   but the phone is the only means that i have   to bridge the lonliness that's back to you   hang up and long for your touch   which i miss now for weeks it's a sign   that being apart isn't easier with time   i can only count the seconds til i'm home      and all these days are never ending   over twilight through dawn they fly   i'll sleep long and well tonight   because in dreams you're in my sight   and with eyelids shut   i'm not lonely anymore   and everything within the world is right      i'll sleep long and well tonight   because in dreams you're in my sight   and with eyelids shut   i'm not lonely anymore   and everything within the world is right      i'll sleep long and well tonight   because in dreams you're in my sight   and with eyelids shut   i'm not lonely anymore   and everything within the world is right
