Artist/Band: Skeeter Davis
Lyrics for Song: Now I Lay Me Down to Sleep
Lyrics for Album: The Best of Skeeter Davis (RCA Victor) [1965]



(Carolyn Penick - Skeeter Davis)



Now I lay me down to weep

Count my tears instead of sheep

Say my prayers, turn out the light

But I just lay and weep all night.



Now I lay me down to cry

Pray the Lord that I might die

But each morning I awake

And listen to my poor heart break.



If only I could sleep at night

I'd dream that you would hold me tight

But I can't dream and I can't sleep

So I just lay me down to weep.



Sleep won't come to crying eyes

And my poor heart just can't realize

That now you're in another's keep

So I'll just lay me down to weep.



Sleep won't come to crying eyes

And my poor heart just can't realize

That now you're in another's keep

So I'll just lay me down to weep.



I'll just lay me down to weep...
