Hang your coat up by the light
It's cold as loneliness outside
And it's too hard to find the words tonight to say goodbye
My feet are heavy on the ground
But my heart is somewhere else
And love's no guarantee
But I can't let you go away from me Hanging on to time, hoping for another day
But I won't smile again without you
Where is yesterday, where are all those plans we made
Why'd you have to go so far away
Sleep and dream tonight
You are gone before the light I close my eyes enough to dream
I feel you closer than my skin
But you're slipping from my memory again
Days lost we resent
And hope is what we all pretend
But this room is too dark see
Why do you have to go away from me Hanging on to time, hoping for another day
But I won't smile again without you
Where is yesterday, where are all those plans we made
Why'd you have to go so far away
Sleep and dream tonight
You are gone before the light
