SONG:Don¡

This song appears on two albums, and was first released on the dreamland express album, and has also been released on the the country roads collection album.

there¡¯s a tenderness that i feel, it¡¯s very real you see
i can feel your body stir so deep within
let it be an out of love tonight completely
and let me ask of you one thing

don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
just look at me and see how many times i cried for you
don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
let it be me, not just a fantasy
let it be me tonight

well you can lie so close to someone and still feel alone
and though i heard you say you loved me so many times
while you give me love so beautiful and tender
someone else is in your mind

don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
just look at me and see how many times i cried for you
don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
let it be me, not just a fantasy
let it be me tonight

sorry if i cry - feelings run so deep
many is a time when i¡¯ll wake up and find
that i¡¯m crying in my sleep
look me in the eye, tell me what you see
i¡¯m the one who loves you, i¡¯m the one who needs you
make this one for me

don¡¯t close youe eyes tonight
just look at me and see how many times i cried for you
don¡¯t close your eyes tonight
let it be me, not just a fantasy
let it be me tonight
