I Go To Sleep

The Pretenders

When I look up from my pillow
I dream you are there with me
But though you are far away
I know you'll always be near to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I look around me
And feel you are ever so close to me
Each tear that flows from my eye
Brings back memories of you to me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

I was wrong, I will cry
I will love you 'til the day I die
You were all, you alone and no one else
You were meant for me

When morning comes again
I have been lonely since you left me
Each day drags by
Until finally night time descends on me

I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me
I go to sleep, sleep
And imagine that you're there with me

    General CommentRay Davies of the Kinks wrote this. Check out their version...

    He also wrote Stop Your Sobbing which the pretenders also covered.

    General CommentI meant to add that one fo the reasons I checked out the pretenders to begin with when they first came out, was because they covered Kinks songs and the Kinks are my favorite band. Chrissie Hynde really has done justice to their tunes and the pretenders became one of my all time favorite bands as well.
