While You're Sleeping Lyrics

Jill Johnson While You're Sleeping

While You’re Sleeping
(Music & Lyrics: Jill Johnson/Liz Rose/Lisa Carver)

While you’re sleeping
I go places you would not imagine
I dream wide awake dreams that might not ever happen
But I dream ‘em anyway
It takes the quiet
To take me to those places
But I hide it
Oh if you ask me to confess
I just deny it
When I lie awake at night before I close my eyes

I go back to the time with the roses and wine
When it was just us, you were all mine
No night and no day, no world in the way
And a passionate kiss was a place we’d stay
Then the baby cries and it’s back to life
From the secrets that I’m keeping
While you’re sleeping

I could tell you
How alone I feel
And even if you get it
There’s no time to fix it
And I’d regret I said it
So I keep it to myself
These dreams that I don’t tell

I go back to the time with the roses and wine
When it was just us, you were all mine
No night and no day, no world in the way
And a passionate kiss was a place we’d stay
Then the baby cries and it’s back to life
From the secrets that I’m keeping
While you’re sleeping
While you’re sleeping

You call it running way
But if that’s what it takes
To be here when you wake up

I go back to the time with the roses and wine
When it was just us, you were all mine
No night and no day, no world in the way
And a passionate kiss was a place we’d stay
Then the baby cries and it’s back to life
From the secrets that I’m keeping
While you’re sleeping
While you’re sleeping
While you’re sleeping
