BACK TO SLEEP

LYRICS:

Verse One
The sun is off and hiding, and the moon’s slipped past the hill,
I’m lying in this endless night, with everything too still, been
Thinking about the sweet love that you’ve given me,
Now I just can’t get, I can’t get back to sleep.
 
Verse Two
Traffic ‘neath my window, I hear footsteps overhead,
I’m dying for your warm embrace in this empty bed, I
Listen to that midnight rain play a lonely beat,
And I just can’t get, I can’t get back to sleep.
 
Bridge
I recall the first time I held you close to me, got
your smile, your laugh, the way you smell, locked in a memory,
I can cross the empty miles only when I’m dreaming deep,
Tonight I miss you, baby, and I just can’t get to sleep.
 
Verse Three
Gonna take a little walk down to the water, write your name out in the sand,
Gonna shout it to the mountains stretched high across this land,
I’ll offer up a promise of love I’m gonna keep, ‘cause I
Just can’t get, no I, just can’t get...
I’ve been dreaming wide awake, lost in love so deep, and I
Just can’t get, no, I can’t get back to sleep.
