hello, I think I'm now awake   sorry I made the mistake of dreaming it was you      goodbye, to that castle in the sky   to my prince from lives gone by   I guess it was just a lie      the time, the time, the time keeps slippin away      chorus:   true love the idealistic daydream   close my eyes cause it's only when I'm asleep   lay me down idealistic daydream   forever counting your sheep   I just want to go back to sleep      so I ask you now   how'd you take my breath away   how'd you touch my soul that day   never intending to stay      the time, the time, the time keeps slippin away
