(Oh Lord) I Wish I Could Sleep - The Spinners

I close up the curtain

And I pull down the blinds

Took a sleeping pill

To help sleep come to my mind

Cause it’s 3 a.m.

And I’m wide awake

Thinking of you again

How you said goodbye like suicide

My love life came

To an unexpected end baby

It’s one two three four

I’m just counting sheep

Oh lord I wish I could sleep

It’s five six seven eight

And I’m still counting sheep

Oh lord I wish I could sleep

I felt happy Friday

When I heard you say

That you’d like to be the girl

That I marry someday

Now it’s 4 a.m.

And it’s Tuesday night

Life is filled with gloom

I can’t understand

How my lifetime plans

Could end so fast

Only just one afternoon

It’s one two three four

(Oh what’s wrong with me?)

I’m just counting sheep

(I'm trying to close my eyes)

Oh lord I wish I could sleep

(But I just can’t sleep)

It’s five six seven eight

(it was Friday baby)

(And love was so sweet)

And I’m just counting sheep

(Now it’s Tuesday night)

Oh lord I wish I could sleep

(Oh lord and I just can’t sleep)

Oh lord I wanna sleep

To escape from reality

Cause in my dreams

I can make believe

That you’re still hear with me

Oh baby!

The way it use to be!
