Sometimes I don't like what you say

Sometimes I don't like what you wear

Sometimes we don't agree when we are going out

But I love you when you sleep


Sometimes you talk on endlessly

Without ever listening to me

But I could almost forgive anything at all

'Cos I love you when you sleep


I love you when you sleep

It's a moment I can keep

Like an old bus ticket or a photograph

You don't wink or whistle or pout

Or any other thing that I've left out

Looks can kill, talk is cheap

But I love you when you sleep

Even a hard man or a creep

Can look okay when he's asleep


Some people have a lot to prove

With the way they dress and undress

And the way they move

If you should wake up and you're like that

Soon you'll never know

What you've been sleeping through


I love you when you sleep

It's a moment I can keep

Like an old bus ticket or a photograph

You don't wink or whistle or pout

Or any other thing that I've left out

Looks can kill, talk is cheap

But I love you when you sleep

Even a hard man or a creep

Can look pretty good when he's asleep
