I try to sleep now,

But I cannot,

I have to work early,

And it's rounding 5:00.

I think back on what I did,

And it wasn't the pot,

I need some sleep now,

Knock me out with one shot!

Life hurts when you're sad,

So I try to stay glad,

About the things I've done for you,

From my heart they came true.

Look out your window,

Is that a shooting star?

My eyes are getting heavy,

Yesterday and tomorrow seem so far.

When I wake up,

I'll have wished I went to sleep,

And said my prayers like I was supposed to,

The Lord my soul to keep.
