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

 

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 all right

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>

 

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 all right

Yes, I had to call you up this morning

'cause I couldn't sleep a wink last night
