Sleeping Alone

Counting constellations on the popcorn ceiling And staring at your picture on the wall Rays of lonely moonlight slowly slice through the blinds As the tears begin to fall

I'm tired of sleeping alone And I just wanna be where you are Tired of saying goodnight through the phone And waking up each morning in the dark

Better say a prayer Turn out the light Sigh and hug my pillow tight I'll be with you soon my dear If only in my dreams

Who I am trying to fool, baby? I'm the one to blame For the forces keeping us apart I'm stubborn and I'm bold

And work's got me in a strangle hold Keeping a vice around my heart Indifference over distance don't fare well Maybe a goodnight kiss from you Could break me from my spell

'Cause I'm tired of sleeping alone And I just wanna be where you are Tired of saying goodnight through the phone And waking up each morning in the dark

Better say a prayer Turn out the light Sigh and hug my pillow tight I'll be with you soon my dear If only in my dreams

Oh, here we go again Off to never-never land

Better say a prayer Turn out the light Sigh and hug my pillow tight I'll be with you soon my dear If only in my dreams

Better say a prayer Turn out the light Sigh and hug my pillow tight I'll be with you soon tonight If only in my dreams
