Let Me Dream a While

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 their gone by the morning light 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 But I never feel the cold I can't stay there, try as I might 'Cause it's gone by the morning light 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? Yeah, when the night draws in And I lay down to rest my head I find boxes of photographs And old movies I saw long ago I can still hear my sister laugh On a the beaches of Mexico Where the phosphorescence shines 'neath 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 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?
