Lyrics
Where Do You Go When You're Sleeping
(They've only gone to sleep)
Words & music by Danny Vann c 1995
Where do you go when you're sleeping?
Can you lead me to the house of dreams?
For if it's a place - I can walk over to -
Take me - to where sleep turns to dreams.
I?
'm missing someone who was dear to me.
And I know - my life's forever changed.
So please - help me bear the sorrow....
- tell me - they've only gone to sleep.
Oh - Where do you go when you're sleeping?
Can you lead me to the house of dreams?
For if it's a place - I can walk over to -
Take me - to where sleep turns to dreams.
He rose again - and then He walked among us.
And He promised - we'll all do the same.
So I guess it's time to trust the Lord now.
- Cuz I know - I can never stand this pain.
Where do you go when you're sleeping?
Can you lead me to the house of dreams?
For if it's a place - I can walk over to -
Take me - where sleep turns to dreams.
I should be grateful for the gift He has given.
To have known & loved such a wonderful one.
But, He has decided the time has come -
- Who am I to question His wisdom?
Where do you go when you?re sleeping?
Can you lead me to the house of dreams?
For if it's a place - I can walk over to -
Please take me - to where sleep turns to dreams.
