Let Me Dream A While

[Verse 1] Well, when the lights are 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 never write 'Cause they're gone by the morning light [Verse 2] Yes, and I dream away And I'm as free as the 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 [Chorus] So, if you find that I'm sleeping Soft and warm as a child Would you just let me be For a moment happy and free? Oh, won't you please let me dream a while? [Verse 3] 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 beneath the moon And a thousand stars, they glow But they always fade out so soon To a place where I just can't go Though I hold on to them so tight They are gone by the morning light [Chorus] So, if you find that I'm sleeping Soft and warm as a child Would you just let me be For a moment happy and free? Oh, won't you please let me dream a while? Oh, won't you please let me dream a while?
