If You Can’t Sleep
She Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

If you can't sleep, I'll be there in your dreams
I'll be there in your dreams if you can't sleep at all
And in your dreams, I'll touch your cheek
And lay my head on your shoulder

Goodbye, shadows

You're far away if you can't see my face
If the world is cold but the sun shines the same
Shut your eyes, there are bluer skies
For your embrace to my heart

Goodbye, shadows

If you can't sleep, I'll be there in your dreams
I'll be there in your dreams if you can't sleep at all




And in your dreams, I'll touch your cheek
And lay my head on your shoulder
