Lyrics

Verse:
I'm watching moon shadows on the wall
Listening to the clock ticking down the hall
Days last forever since you've gone
Nights just seem to go on and on
I slept like a baby in your arms
But now I don't even set the alarm
'Cause I'll still be lyin' here

Chorus:
Wide awake and praying for sleep
Hugging my pillow counting sheep
I get up to 21 or 22, then my mind goes back to you
In the morning I'll be fine but now there's nothing to be done
But start again
At sheep number one

Verse:
Today I volunteered for an extra shift
Just to stay busy and try to forget
I ain't a drinking man but I just might
If I have to spend one more night

Chorus:
Wide awake and praying for sleep
Hugging my pillow counting sheep
I get up to 21 or 22, then my mind goes back to you
In the morning I'll be fine but now there's nothing to be done
But start again
At sheep number one

Bridge:
Broken hearts take time to heal
I know it in my head
But that don't change the way I feel
Lying in this empty bed

Chorus:
Wide awake and praying for sleep
Hugging my pillow counting sheep
I get up to 21 or 22, then my mind goes back to you
In the morning I'll be fine but now there's nothing to be done
But start again
At sheep number one
