It Late and Oh I Can Not Fall a Sleep

it late and oh I can not fall a sleep

it 2  o'clock in the morning

today I should not of took that nap

oh but it felt so good to

lay down on my couch and claps .

 

it late and oh I can not fall a sleep

maybe if rub my feet with warm oil

or drink a hot cup of milk

so what do you think?

If only I could get a few winks.

 

it late and oh I can not fall a sleep

well lets try reading one of my books

and I will  turn on my fan

to make a soft humming noise,

yes that the plan.

 

it late and oh I can not sleep

nothing seem to be working

mr  sand man come on

throw a little sand in my eyes

as I pled and cry.

 

it late and oh I can not sleep

well what next

I will try watching TV while

eating a cookie or two

that should work or maybe not

that was not a good plot.

 

it late and oh I can not sleep

so once again I crawl back into my bed

and shut my eyes tight, just after

turning out the light

it will be daylight soon,

so if this ever happen to you

well I found out there really nothing you can do.

 

it late and oh I can not sleep.
