Why Can't I Wake Up With You
Take That · Greatest Hits
If I should read or think
I'll keep an open mind
Till the day sets in
I hear you call me ( hear you call me, you call me )
I'm so willing to call back ( willin to call back )
Hear you thinking
Hope you hear me thinking too
Chorus
Why can't I wake up with you
So you're there when I open my eyes ( there when i open my eyes )
Baby why can't I wake up with you
You're my life
Oh, I feel alive
So I'll just begin
To read my mind
Before you ring me
Hear you thinking
Hope you hear me thinking too
Repeat chorus
So good to be near you ( so good to be near you )
So dark when you walk from my side
Baby why can't I wake up with you
You're my life ( you're my life )
Hear you thinking
Hope you hear me thinking too
Repeat chorus
Why don't we dream the same night
So you're there when the dark turns to light
Baby I know this is right
You're my life
