Cure My Insomnia
Darling, for you all night I have yearned
For hours I have simply tossed and turned
Watching the clock as 4 AM just ticks on by
Just can't get to sleep, God only knows why
I know very well at work how tired I will be
Now the dawn has woken the wanting in me
Good to have you home soon, get back on track
Sleep in your arms instead of being an insomniac
Thought fond memories of you would help me sleep
Nothing seems to work, I've even tried counting sheep
With love we share, you'd think sleep would come easy
Can't wait your return and for the Insomnia to release me
Awake all night thinking of you and staring at the ceiling
At work, this afternoon boss will catch me daydreaming
Thought sleep would come easy dear with you on my mind
But my heart sees it much differently and for you it has pined
So my sweetheart, I'll be much happier when you get back
Kiss and a hug from you is sure to cure this sorry insomniac
May not be able to sleep at the moment but one thing I do know
Sleep will come easy when your head's back here on your pillow
Know for sure I'll sleep then, darling, no I'll not be mistaken
In each others arms we'll doze off after spirited love making
Any wonder really that I can't sleep when it's you I'm missing
Long to look into your deep blue eyes as your lips I am kissing
Likes the depths of the ocean dear, my love for you runs deep
Desires for you are even stronger than my much needed sleep
With your head laying next to mine I will feel extremely relieved
Insomnia will be gone as my eyes close, listening to you breathe
