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
