[Verse 1]

In and out of darkness, in and out of sleep

Trying to keep my hands upon the wheel

Never saw the corner in the driving rain

I never saw her step into the street


[Refrain]

Dreaming while you sleep

Dreaming while you sleep

Memories to keep

Dreaming while you sleep


[Verse 2]

I can never understand what went through my mind

I didn't stop to see what I had done

I had to keep on driving deep into the night

The miles between would somehow put it right


[Refrain]

Dreaming while you sleep

Dreaming while you sleep

Memories to keep

Dreaming while you sleep


[Chorus]

All my life, you lie silently there

All my life, in a world so unfair

All my life, and only I'll know why

And it will live inside of me

I will never be free

All my life, trapped in her memory

All my life, till the day that you open your eyes

Please open your eyes


[Refrain]

Dreaming while you sleep

Dreaming while you sleep


[Verse 3]

Heard it on the radio, saw it on TV

But could I take my secret to the grave

If I had another chance, would I do the same?

Would I still deny that it was me?


[Refrain]

Dreaming while you sleep

Dreaming while you sleep

Dreaming while you sleep

Are you dreaming while you sleep?


[Chorus]

All my life, I'll be haunted by

All my life, just one moment in time

All my life, until the day I die

And it will live inside of me

Oh, I will never be free

All my life, trapped in her memory

All my life, till the day that you open your eyes

All of my life, you lie silently there

All my life, in a world so unfair

All my life, and only I know why

And it will live inside of me

I will never be free

All my life, trapped in her memory

All my life, till the day that you open your eyes


[Outro]

All of my life

Just one moment in time

All my life
