I want to show you the picture I drew When I was on the phone talking to you I made a heart and I colored it red Cause I want you here on my side of the bed I've been dreamin' since I was born And in my dreams I see eyes like yours I'll be the pillow where you lay your head If you'll come and sleep on my side of the bed Lay down The sheets are white like the moon my love Dream with me in my room Lay down I know you hurt, I feel the pain Take my hand and come out of the rain We all need to be comforted You can get yours on my side of the bed
