Lost in silence while you're sleeping I lie here next to you

So contented just to be close to you

    

Waiting for my dreams to take me to where I long to be

Anywhere where I'll still find you and me

    

To a sun-drenched island or a mountain top

Through a steaming forest where the rain won't stop

     

Take me away… away

Silently I pray

Give me nothing but your love that's true

Just say by my side you'll stay

I need no one… no one else but you

     

If you're dreaming while we’re sleeping I hope you'll dream with me

Of a future filled with love… there you'll see

    

Love goes on forever like the mountain tops

Like the boundless ocean true love never stops

   

Take me away… away

Silently I pray

Give me nothing but your love that's true

Just say by my side you'll stay

I need no one… no one else but you

     

Yes take me away… away

Silently I pray

Give me nothing but your love that's true

Just say by my side you'll stay

I need no one… no one else but you

     

Yes take me away… oh… oh… oh… take me away…

     

Lost in silence while you're sleeping...

mmm… mmm… mmm… mmm…
