At dawn this dream will fade away
So when the night turns in to day
I'll close my eyes to make the moment last
I close the curtains every night
To keep away the morning light
'Cause when the sun breaks through
And the illusion fades I can't go back
Don't wake me up
Just let me stay asleep
For a while
I know it's just a dream
But that's all I need right now
To get by
I try to keep it off my mind
And tell myself that things are fine
I'll rather live in deep denial
Than admitting anything is lost
And though this dream will come and go (Come and go)
I still pretend that I don't know (I don't know)
That might seem strange to you
But this illusion gives me peace of mind
Don't wake me up
Just let me stay asleep
For a while
I know it's just a dream
But that's all I need right now
To get by
Don't wake me up
Just let me sleep here for a while (Sleep here for a while)
I know it's just a dream
So please just pass me by (Please just pass me by)
Don't wake me up
Just let me sleep here for a while (Sleep here for a while)
I know it's just a dream
So please just pass me by
But please don't wake me up
Just let me stay asleep
For a while
I know it's just a dream
But that's all I need right now
To get by
At dawn this dream will fade away
So when the night turns in to day
I'll close my eyes to make the moment last
