You Keep Me Dreaming

You Keep Me Dreaming
Jim Pipkin BMI 1983

In all the time I've know your face
I haen't known that much of what you're thinking
Some secrets we will never tell
Just as well to hide behind the winking

But sometimes when you look at me
I seem to see a little more affection
That touches me somewhere inside
I'd try to hide, but that's the wrong direction

Keepin' it light
Trying not to make the ties too tight
I don't want your freedom, I want you
It's a thing you do
You keep me dreaming

When words all come in shades of gray
The ones you say among your friends must ring true
If not it's just a waste of time
Such a crime to say less than you mean to

When right and wrong is clouded by
The hows and whys of everyday existing
You need somebody close to you
To take you down or hold your hand and listen

Playing it strong
Only keeps you sane for just so long
Sometimes you need someplace you can go
Someone you know
Who keeps you dreaming

Keepin' it light
Trying not to make the ties too tight
I don't want your freedom, I want you
It's a thing you do
You keep me dreaming
