Now I lay me down to weep count my tears instead of sheep

Say my prayers turn out the light but I just lay and weep all night

Now I lay me down to cry pray the Lord that I might die

But each morning I awake and listen to my poor heart break

If only I could sleep at night I'd dream that you would hold me tight

But I can't dream and I can't sleep so I just lay me down to weep



Sleep won't come to cryin' eyes and my poor heart just can't realize

That now you're in another's keep so I'll just lay me down to weep

Sleep won't come to cryin' eyes...

I'll just lay me down to weep
