Let Me Dream A While

Well when the lights hang low
And I lay down and close my eyes
I see colors and spinning wheels
I hear a language I don't understand
I see people I've not seen for years
I hold a magic in my hands
I sing songs that I'll never write cause they're gone by the morning light
Yes and I dream away
I'm as free as a summer sky
I swim in oceans turquoise and deep
I lay down in fields of gold
I climb mountains snow white and steep
Though I never feel the cold
I can't stay there try as I might
Cause I'm gone by the morning light
So if you find that I'm sleeping
Soft and warm as a child
Will you just let me be
For a moment happy and free
Oh won't you please
Let me dream a while
Oh when the night draws in
And I lay down and I rest my head
I find boxes of photographs
And old movies I saw long ago
I can still hear my sister laugh
On the beaches of Mexico
Where the phosphorescence shines 'neath the moon
And thousand stars the glow
Yeah they always fade out so soon
To a place where I just can't go
Though I hold on to 'em so tight
They are gone by the morning light
So if you find that I'm sleeping
Soft and warm as a child
Oh won't you just let me be
For a moment happy and free
Oh won't you please
Let me dream a while oh
Oh won't you please
Let me dream a while
