While You Were Sleeping Songtext
von José James

Shadows long upon my face
Shadows long upon my face
She′s gone
on the last train

Never thought that she would go
Never thought that she would go
Now I'm all on my own

Oh, I′ve been hit
The love affair is over
and I know that I'm alone

Need a day, I need a night
Need a day I need a night
I know I'm gonna see the light

Lover′s darkness on my head
Lover′s darkness on my head
And it's all a shade of red

Oh, I′ve been hit
Tthe love affair is over
and I know that I' m alone


If you think that I′m afraid
never knew what I am made
Remember all the things in you
and everything you put me through

Here's a little lullaby
Wash your tears and don′t you cry
Cause you are inside of me
Leave my heart and let me be

In a lonely, crowded life
To a place beyond the sky
Where our love won't fade away
Waiting to be born again
Waiting to be next to me

Weight of sorrow
Weight of gold
Way your words can now unfold
Way you couldn't let me stay
Live my life and walk away
I′ll be there and so will you


When the known is in it′s power
When the young is in it's flower
You reached out to fill a need
Walked away in word and deed
Go and haunt your dreams no more

In a silence in a room
In a quiet in a mood
I′ll remember every day
That your promise never gave
Never to return again

Those in love do what they need
Light a candle, plant a seed
I'll return when things have changed
Live and die and born again
Through the night and through the way

Painted pictures in your mind
Can you leave it all behind
Loss and love and live again
Shake my hand and call me friend
Hate will be the death of your

Stranger sorrow let me go
Down a dark and lonely road
Ways of light to show my way
Ways of love to heal my pain

All of this I ask in you.
