WHEN I'M ASLEEP (Pete Ham)
[from Keyhole Street: Demos 1966-67 CD - recorded 1967 - released U.S. 2013]

I've lost you, girl
All I had, I just wanna weep
Day is night, now you're mine
Now I'm asleep
Don't ever wake me now
Please don't wake me now

'Cause when I'm asleep, you're mine, girl
Rather leave it this way
When I'm asleep, you're mine, girl
Can't face the sadness all day
I'll sleep all the night and all day

I've had you once, but now you're gone
I'm losing my mind
But when I sleep, I get you back
In dreams of your mind
Don't ever wake me now
Please don't ever, please don't ever wake me now

Because when I'm asleep, you're mine, girl
I'd rather leave it this way
When I'm asleep, you're mine, girl
Can't face the sadness all day
I sleep all night and all day

When I'm asleep, you're mine, girl
I'd rather leave it this way
When I'm asleep, you're mine, girl
Can't face the sadness all day
I'll sleep all the night and all day
