Analysis of To Dream



Lay me down to sleep tonight so I can dream and feel alright.
Forever falling in the wake, my heart is yours to simply take.
My eyes close to find the fantasy, so keep me there forever ecstasy.

My dream
My world
Only in one you are my girl
My fear
My fright
Because of that I ache for night

I'll forever sleep to see you smile,
To keep my soul from being wild.
The untamed darkness where I roam,
Until my heart becomes your home.

So tonight I sleep
To dream
To feel alright
