  • This is the time when you need a friend
    You just need someone near
    I'm not looking forward to the night
    I'll spend thinking of you when you're not here

    How many times will I think about the things
    I'd like to do
    Always denied the right to live my life the way I want
    I wanna share it with you

    Close your eyes
    I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams

    I'll think of your kiss as the days roll by
    And I'll write the words you love
    But what I can't say in a letter
    Will just have to wait 'til I get home

    There's not much time to tell you
    Half the things that I should
    Only that I'm so glad I fell in love with you
    And I'd do it again if I could

    Close your eyes
    I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams

    Sleep like a child resting deep
    You don't know what you give me
    I keep for these moments alone

    Close your eyes
    I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to see you tonight in my sweet dreams
    Close your eyes
    I want to ride the skies in my sweet dreams Writer/s: Graham Russell
