I wish to sleep walk

Half awake and half asleep

So that I may always smile

And never weep

 

But like many others

I have lost those

Who I have loved

And I believe that sleepwalking

May lessen my pain

So that I can remember my happiness

Again and again

 

I wish to sleep walk

Half awake and half asleep

So that I may always smile

And never weep
