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
