I Couldn't Sleep A Wink Last Night
Bing Crosby · Other Songs - Bing Crosby
Because we had that silly fight.
I thought my heart would break the whole night through,
I knew that you'd be sorry, and I'm sorry too.
I didn't have my favorite dream,
The one in which I hold you tight.
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still alright;
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'Cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
I couldn't sleep a wink last night,
Because we had that silly fight.
I thought my heart would break the whole night through,
I knew that you'd be sorry, and I'm sorry too.
Because we had that silly fight.
I thought my heart would break the whole night through,
I knew that you'd be sorry, and I'm sorry too.
I didn't have my favorite dream,
The one in which I hold you tight.
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still alright;
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
'Cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night.
