In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning

Rosemary Clooney · Other Songs - Rosemary Clooney

When the sun is high in the afternoon sky

You can always find something to do

But from dusk 'til dawn as the clock ticks on

Something happens to you



In the wee small hours of the morning

While the whole wide world is fast asleep

You lie awake and you think about the boy

And never ever think of counting sheep



When your lonely heart has learned its lesson

You'd be his if only he'd call

In the wee small hours of the morning

That's the time you miss him most of all



When your lonely heart has learned its lesson

You'd be his if only he'd call

In the wee small hours of the morning

That's the time you miss him most of all
