You close your eyes at the end of your night Surprised that you find it alright As for sleep, as for you, there's not much i can do But i'm here so that maybe you might If you promise not to dream in black and white I promise to still be here when there's light You wake up late for the second year straight Dazed by the days and the days That roll on ahead, you can sleep when you're dead At least that's what my dad used to say If you promise not to dream in black and white I promise to still be here when there's light I know you like to see it coming I know you like to see it through But don't you think it's rather stunning, darling Running for the hills when everything you know falls through You gotta know that i love love love you so And i'm sorry for making this hard If you promise not to dream in black and white I promise not to leave you in the night I promise to still be here when there's light If you promise not to dream in black and white
