John Close - music / 90s

i don't want to wake up - John Close 13.8.96

They say this world is simply a dream
A hangup only time can heal
They say that love isn't all that it seems
And being happy isn't always the deal
I've wandered this far into the night
Now I have one hope in view
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
I don't want to wake up
Unless you're there, too

I must be as lost as the sun
To hang my heart in the moonshine
Believing wildly this is the one -
This could be simply for one time
But somehow there may still be hope
Even here, even now
I don't want to wake up
Unless you're around

Cos I know only too well
This is the only chance we get
And I have heard them all say
Make one good day
And the rest you can simply blow away

...
The sun is burning somewhere east
But when the dawn breaks through
I don't want to wake up
Unless I'm with you.
