when you’re asleep on my shoulder
I can dream, I can dream
of how we’ll grow older
I can dream that I’m not getting colder
when you’re asleep on my shoulder
I can weep
I can weep like a soldier
I can weep when I can’t seem to hold you
you may think I’m a fool, that I’m clutching at straws
that I need to be strong and not wait for applause
that this hill is already too steep
but I’ve missed the way that you look when you sleep
when you’re asleep on my shoulder
I can dream, I can dream
of how we’ll grow older
I can dream that I’m not getting colder
when you’re asleep on my shoulder
I can weep
I can weep like a soldier
I can weep when I can’t seem to hold you
you may think I’m a fool to have spent so much time
on a mountain I’ll never be able to climb
that I shouldn’t return to the scene
but I’ve missed the way that you smile when you dream
when you’re asleep on my shoulder
I can dream, I can dream
of how we’ll grow older
I can dream that I’m not getting colder
when you’re asleep on my shoulder
I can weep
I can weep like a soldier
I can weep when I can’t seem to hold you
