Do you remember when you said to me
"Now I lay me down to dream
I pray to you my soul to keep"

I thought prayers were for the weak

And if I die before I wake

This heart of mine is yours to take
I fell for you while I watched you sleep


Now you're all dressed down in your bedclothes
Falling whichever way the wind blows
I hope it takes you home

[x2]

Make believe you don't get colder when it snows

She says, "I'll leave the light on if you promise to come home"
And oh, how I miss that city love
This is too much to take

So if I sleep tonight I'll think of you
And hope I die
And hope I die before I wake


Tonight I won't lie down
These sealed lips won't make a sound

I'll keep my fingers crossed
That the rain might stop
In hopes that I won't drown

We're just strangers sharing beds
With memories
We're talking heads

Our bodies fell apart and made an awful mess

And now you're falling out of your dress clothes

Into the arms of oh, who knows
If memory serves me well
I miss you so


Make believe you don't get colder when it snows
She says, "I'll leave the light on if you promise to come home"

And oh, how I miss that city love
This is too much to take
So if I sleep tonight I'll think of you

And hope I die
And hope I die before I wake


We'll sit pretty on the city rooftops
We'll keep singing til the music stops
We'll lose our voices in the name of love

But sometimes love just isn't enough

I've got high hopes and no I won't grow old

I've got that style and that Chicago soul
I've got matchstick feet, come and dance with me
We'll set fire to the streets


You look so pretty on the city rooftops
Please keep singing til the music stops

Your silhouette's so close to home
I need you now, don't go
[x4]

I'll leave the light on, if you promise
