asleep

------

i am runnin' out of time.

sleep tight for me.

i will return by morning.

you better be asleep when i get back.

[chorus]

because you know,

just what lives out there.

because you always know,

where i go.

[bridge]

i am runnin' out of places to go.

sleep all night for me.

i will be back to you by morning.

i pray you are alseep when i return.

because the future is uncertain.

i cannot guarantee,

you will be pleased with what you see.

and that is why you must sleep,

til i return.

a promise for you to keep.

promise me,

cross your heart.

you will be asleep when i return.

[solo]

[chorus]

because you know,

just what lives out there.

because you always know,

where i go.

pomise me you will sleep,

while i am gone.

when i return,

i wish to take you there.

take you to where i go.

if you are awake i know,

you will never go.

you will never go...
