(Oh Lord) I Wish I Could Sleep

Closed up the curtains, pulled down the blinds

Took a sleeping pill to help sleep come to my mind

'Cause it's three AM and I'm wide awake

Thinking of you again

How you said goodbye and like suicide

My love life came to an unexpected end

Oh, one and two, three and four

I'm just counting sheep

Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep

Five and six and seven and eight

I'm still counting sheep

Oh, Lord, I wish that I could sleep

I felt happy Friday when I heard you say

That you'd like to be the man I marry someday

Now it's four AM and it's Tuesday night

My life is filled with gloom

I can't understand how my lifetime plans

Could end so fast, all in just one afternoon

Oh, one and two, three and four

I'm just counting sheep

Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep

Five and six and seven and eight

I'm still counting sheep

Oh, Lord, I wish that I could sleep

I wanna sleep to escape from reality

And in my dreams, I can make believe

That you're still here with me, yeah

The way that it used to be

Oh, one and two, three and four

I'm just counting sheep

Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep

Five and six and seven and eight

I'm still counting sheep

Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep

Oh, Lord, I wish I could sleep

Won't somebody help me now

Somebody help me
