Lyrics

I've never had a problem with sleep
It always comes so easy for me
But then one day I ran into a smile that tore my heart in two
And now my sleep is more like a wait to see her

I'm tryin' hard to count all the sheep
I count them one by one as they leap
but I lose track at one or two, as lady comes a walkin' through
she smiles at me and then I awake.

Lady with the smile I love, smile away.
I don't care if it keeps me up, wide awake
Lady that I'm dreaming of, give me a taste
Lately I've been thinking there's no escape

Don't mean to make you out like a queen
but I can't forget the things that I've seen
I know there's so much more to this, Its growing right inside your kiss
I'll be there with my lips when it blooms

Lady, with the smile I love, smile away.
I don't care if it keeps me up, wide awake
Lady that I'm dreaming of, give me a taste
Lately I've been thinking there's no escape

I hope these words affect you, Lady
Just read my lips, I read yours already
I need it right now your effects are spreading

The way they talk whenever you laugh
I'd smile at you to see you smile back
The sweet tooth for your lips, my dear, has made me lose my grip, I fear
'cause otherwise, I'd hold you tight and kiss you, honey
