Why is it that I cannot sleep?
I cannot sleep. I cannot sleep!
My mind wanders like straying sheep.
Like straying sheep. Like straying sheep!

I only know I love you so;
And tried my best to let you know.
Alas, in pain I let you go.
I let you go. I let your go!

Each night I pray for you my love,
And look for answers from above.
Each day I think of only you;
And long for a love that's true.
Another day has come and gone,
Still I find myself all alone.
Again I lay down to sleep, but
I cannot sleep. I cannot sleep!

My mind wanders like straying sheep.
Like straying sheep. Like straying sheep!
Oh, why is it that I cannot sleep?
I cannot sleep. I cannot sleep!
