Tom Paxton - While You Sleep lyrics

[Tom Paxton - While You Sleep lyrics]

While you sleep while you sleep
Lend me your love while you sleep
You don't need it then
I'll give it back again while you sleep
Lend me your love while you sleep

In the morning when you lie
With the covers pulled up tight
Or as the sun is setting
And you're tucking in for night
It's at these quiet moments
With my worries to myself
I wonder where your heart is
And if you're doing well while you sleep
While you sleep lend me your love
While you sleep you don't need it then
I'll give it back again while you sleep
Lend me your love while you sleep

Like a child when he is changing
How he hates his family ties


And he needs the understanding
Of the ones that he denies
I watch you when you're dreaming
In the light before the day
I look for your affection
When you cannot turn away

While you sleep while you sleep
Lend me your love while you sleep
You don't need it then
I'll give it back again while you sleep
Lend me your love while you sleep
And when you're in another city
If you're off and on your own
And the distance fades the faces
Of your friends and of of your home
You may need someone beside you
Just to chase the ghosts away
To lie there by your side
Till the morning breaks the day

While you sleep while you sleep
Lend me your love while you sleep
You don't need it then
I'll give it back again while you sleep
Lend me your love while you sleep
Lend me your love while you sleep
