I Go To Sleep
Rasputina Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
I will dream you are there with me
Though you are far away
I know you'll always be here to me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
I look around me and feel
You are ever so close to me
Each tear that flows from my eye
Brings but memories of you to me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I was wrong, I will cry
I will love you 'til the day I die
You, oh, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me
When morning comes again
I'll have the loneliness you left me
Each day draws by until my
Lovely meltdown descends on my
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
