Oh elusive sleep
Come capture my soul
Yesterday is just the same
This is getting old
Disease racks my bones
Causing me such pain
Slowly drives me mad
Quietly insane
Can't they find a cure?
Doctor s scratches their heads
If this don't go away
I could wind up dead
Coughing all night long
Shaken to the core
Slowly drifting off
Falling to the floor
Wakened with a start
Coughing once again
All just turn their backs
Where there once were friends
O elusive sleep
Where's you fatal sting
Laughing through the night
No peace does it bring
Elusive sleep
Oh elusive sleep
Come capture my soul
Yesterday is just the same
This is getting old
Disease racks my bones
Causing me such pain
Slowly drives me mad
Quietly insane
Can't they find a cure?
Doctor s scratches their heads
If this don't go away
I could wind up dead
Coughing all night long
Shaken to the core
Slowly drifting off
Falling to the floor
Wakened with a start
Coughing once again
All just turn their backs
Where there once were friends
O elusive sleep
Where's you fatal sting
Laughing through the night
No peace does it bring
Elusive sleep
Oh elusive sleep
Come capture my soul
Yesterday is just the same
This is getting old
Disease racks my bones
Causing me such pain
Slowly drives me mad
Quietly insane
Can't they find a cure?
Doctor s scratches their heads
If this don't go away
I could wind up dead
Coughing all night long
Shaken to the core
Slowly drifting off
Falling to the floor
Wakened with a start
Coughing once again
All just turn their backs
Where there once were friends
O elusive sleep
Where's you fatal sting
Laughing through the night
No peace does it bring
It was so long ago
You had came to be
And I loved the fact
You took the time for me
You've given me a love
Like I've never known
Causing me to live
Help me while I've grown
You think we've grown apart
You think I do not care
But you can't read my mind
So do you think that's fair
I will tell you now
I'll love you evermore
When you came into my life
It was what I waited for
So through all the years
My faithfulness I keep
If you don't believe my heart
It causes me to weep
Now once again I'll say
Believe that this is true
My life means so much more
Because of loving you
