I was scared to death
   Afraid to close my eyes
   And find that I was gone
   Like every other one
   Who left before the dawn
   I vanished in the air
   Am I still there
   Wake me gently
   If you can
   Wake me gently
   Just touch my hand
   Wake me gently
   Pull my sleeve
   'Cuz where I'm at
   Is where I wanna leave
   And in my sleep
   I look so lifeless on this bed
   Laid out on satin sheets
   This dream's a novel
   That I don't dare complete
   No happy ending read
   I think the hero's dead
   Wake me gently
   If you can
   Wake me gently
   Just touch my hand
   Wake me gently
   Pull my sleeve
   'Cuz where I'm at
   Is where I wanna leave
   Me to my slumber
  
   And I never come home
   Please help me, I'm frightened
   Of what's going on
   What's going on
   And if I can't wake up
   Will I be all alone
   A stranded orphan here
   Or will I bump into
   Some other wandering soul
   And will talk to me
   Somebody, somebody please rescue me
   Wake me gently
   If you can
   Wake me gently
   Just touch my hand
   Wake me gently
   Pull my sleeve
   'Cuz where I'm at
   Is where I wanna leave
   I wanna leave
   I wanna leave
   I wanna wake up
   I wanna leave
   I don't wanna stay
   I wanna leave
   I wanna go
   I wanna go home
   I wanna go home
   Just wake me up
   I wanna go home
   Wake me up, please
   'Cuz I wanna go home
   Wake me
   Wake me
