(last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All
Johnny Mathis · Other Songs - Johnny Mathis
I lay awake and watched until the mornin' light
Washed away the darkness of the lonely night (Lonely night)
Oh, and last night I got to thinkin' maybe I, I, I
Should call you up and just forget my foolish pride
I heard your number ringin', I went cold inside
And last night I didn't get to sleep at all
I know it's not my fault, I did my best
God knows this heart of mine could use a rest
But more and more I find the dreams I left behind
Are somehow too real to replace (Replace)
Oh, last night I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
The sleepin' pill I took was just a waste of time
I couldn't close my eyes 'cause you were on my mind
And last night I didn't get to sleep, didn't get to sleep
No, I didn't get to sleep at all
But more and more I find the dreams I left behind
Are somehow too real to replace (Replace)
Oh, last night I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
The sleepin' pill I took was just a waste of time
I couldn't close my eyes 'cause you were on my mind
And last night I didn't get to sleep, didn't get to sleep
No, I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no, no
No, no, no
Ho, last night I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
Last night I didn't get to sleep at all, oh, ho
Last night I didn't get to sleep at all
