Pleasant Dreams

when we were young we would dress like heroes that we loved

we'd need more than

and we fear for the new day to begin

so i close my eyes and bid you my farewell
and i wish you pleasant dreams

yeah yeah

so pleasant dreams to you my friend
to the one i know

wish you pleasant dreams
and i wish you pleasant
