Sweet dreams oh sweet dreams Oh sweet dreams The air is black I can't sleep, I can't sleep Now even the night is dead I've got this whole song in my melodic head Just let me write one more line Before it's time for bed Sweet dreams oh sweet dreams Oh sweet dreams Be my nightmare I can't sleep, I can't sleep Cuz darling you're in my head Our love's as grievous as a nightingale's scream This bittersweet serenade swings my heart to the sea The silent symphony of the midnight Be my lullaby Clear up my mind The moonlight casts my shadow aside Love me, disgrace me, say you love me What's on your mind? Sweet dreams be my Sweet dreams be my Sweet dreams be my nightmare Half awake, half asleep A state of forsaken bliss A lot of things You don't have to know why Now our love's as grievous as a nightingale's scream This bittersweet serenade swings my heart to the sea Time may make it better But I've had enough of time So please just go to sleep Though the daylight is not something that heals I'll be alright watching you leave I'll act cavalier just to live
