My Lover Is Sleeping Lyrics by Wasia Project
My lover is sleeping
Here on the floor
Where is he drifting?
Oh I wonder where he’ll go?
Oh, I don’t know
Oh, I don’t know
Is he dreaming of a paradise?
Somewhere in the distance we could go to hide away?
No one to tell us what to do or say…
Oh, I don’t know
Oh, I don’t know
It’s two in the morning
He’s still asleep
Where is he going?
Oh I wonder where he is?
Oh, I don’t know
Oh, I don’t know
I’m falling under your love
Can’t forget the way it was
When you held me
When you cared, oh…
You raise the sky above me
You save the sunlight from the rain
Won’t you stay?
Won’t you stay with me
My lover is sleeping
Here on the floor
Where is he drifting?
Oh when will he come home?
Oh, I don’t know
Oh, I don’t know
(I don’t know, I don’t know)
(I don’t know, I don’t know)
(I don’t know)
(I don’t know)
(I don’t know)
