3:42 Without You

It's three forty two And I'm feeling blue. Saw you yesterday And can't sleep without you. If you were here I'd simply cozy up to you Stroke your face and hair And fall back to sleep. It would be a worry free sleep Because you'd be next to me. You'd be warm and safe And I'd gain the strength to go on today. But your desire to love only your little one Has left my mind and heart undone And I'm sleepless in Charleston For yet another night, oh well. If you had told me your heart was too small To love us here too then perhaps I wouldn't have this heartache at all And I'd be asleep now, not suffering so much. All I wanted to do when I saw you Was kiss you, hug you, touch you And never let you go again, But your happiness is more important than love from this man. Well, it's four forty five and I'm starting to cry, Will be up in two hours anyway, Sleep doesn't matter, it's just another day And I'll survive it somehow, someway.
