Second Best

Before you go

There's a couple of things

I'd like to get off my chest

Go ahead and reserve your place

In hearts for second best

I take what it is I can get

And move along

Right down to the very words

You use to keep me hangin on

A lullaby for stone hearts

Politely wrapped in gold

Sweet dreams and good night, good night, sleep tight

Hope you can't sleep, thinkin' of me tonight

Sweet dreams and good night, good night, sleep tight

In the calm before the storm

I had found the strength to carry on

Oh, I wish I knew you were a

Sucker for sad songs

Something about that night wasn't quite right

The song came through the speakers like a sound track

Through the fading lights(fading lights) in both our eyes

At the end of the day

I'll send this song your way

Sweet dreams and good night, good night, sleep tight

Hope you can't sleep, thinkin' of me tonight

Sweet dreams and good night, good night, sleep tight

Its not you but the moments I miss

Nothing wakes me more than a

Transparent kiss, that I fight to deny

And in the wake of the storm

I found the means to carry on

Its just the way we are,

The way we've been from the start

Sweet dreams and good night, good night, sleep tight

Hope you can't sleep, thinkin' of me tonight

Sweet dreams and good night, good night, sleep tight

Hope you can't sleep, thinkin' of me tonight
