The River’s Invitation - Percy Mayfield

Can’t stop falling in love unless you go away86 Drops down the gutter fade

Fill my lungs with your scent until they explode

I will pretend I’m alone

I lay down and take it til' the pain is dead and gone

Father says you’ll shake it I can’t help but feel he’s wrong

Wake me up when it feels right

All of the nights you spent alone

Wake me up when there’s sunlight

All of the nights we couldn’t sleep

Only a friend

Only a smile

You’re wanted back in my heart now

Wake me up when it feels right

All of the nights you couldn’t sleep

[Now I lay me down to sleep

I pray the lord my soul to keep

If I should I die before I wake

I pray the lord my soul to take

(Wake me up when it feels right

Wake me up when there’s sunlight)

When you were in heaven I was in heaven

You are the only thing that I love

And now I’m forsaken you are forsaken

Everything I love breaks

Only a friend

Only a smile

You’re wanted back in my heart now

Wake me up when it feels right

All of the nights you couldn’t sleep

I’ll stop falling along the wayside

When you stop coming home to my heart

Just wake me up when you can come home
