Sleeping With The Past Lyrics - Sleeping With The Past - Elton John

Like a thief he's come, like a thief he's gone 

He's stolen your tears one by one 

You're proud to love him, it's a foolish sign 

You're a broken heart at the scene of the crime 

And the night drags on, oh and the fever burns 

Come to your senses, everybody learns 

You sleep in sweet fire, lost and blue 

You're an empty doll in the power of a fool 

Don't go sleepin' with the past 

Don't go prayin' he'll come back 

Take a deep breath and deny 

You could love a man like that 

Don't go sleeping with the past 

Don't go waking with a dream 

There's no tenderness that's left 

In the cracks you step between

NEW SONG: Blink-182 - 'Happy Days' Lyrics 

If it looks like rain, if it makes no sound 

It's an echo of pain on a common ground 

Love like a junkie, addiction's a fact 

Passion's a monkey you can't keep off your back 

And don't go sleepin' with the past 

Don't go prayin' he'll come back 

Take a deep breath and deny 

You could love a man like that 

Don't go sleeping with the past 

Don't go waking with a dream 

There's no tenderness that's left 

In the cracks you step between 

But he takes love and he turns it cold 

He's just an iceman honey ain't got no heart of gold 

But he sees you and he runs from you 

Come on and shake this shadow that you're clingin' to 

And he'll hurt you and he'll run from you 

Come on and shake this shadow that you're clinging to 

And don't go sleepin' with the past 

Don't go prayin' he'll come back 

Take a deep breath and deny 

You could love a man like that 

Don't go sleeping with the past 

Don't go waking with a dream 

There's no tenderness that's left 

In the cracks you step between 

Okay 

Don't go sleepin' 

Uh huh 

Don't go prayin' 

Okay 

Don't go dreamin' 

There's no tenderness that's left 

In the cracks you step between
