VERSE 1

Games of hopscotch we would play
Out on the street every day
The sound of the stone upon that slab
…Were the best days I ever had

CHORUS
When my queen was sleeping
When my queen was sleeping

VERSE 2
Across the fields in the summer breeze
Roller skates and climbing trees
The far off (I hear the) train(s) as I lay in my bed
And thoughts of you would fill my head.

CHORUS

[Middle]
Then one day you moved away
I missed you more than I could say

VERSE 3
I see you now on the TV screen
You still hold yourself like that queen
And do you still remember me
I those days back on the street

You tucked your dress into your pants
And across those slabs you would dance…

CHORUS
When my queen was sleeping
When my queen was sleeping
