I couldn't sleep last night
I laid awake
And wished you were here
I'd wished that I had more time
To make more mistakes
I make them louder
And clearer

I couldn't sleep last night
Just couldn't get it right
Well, I couldn't sleep last night
Not a light was on
Well, I held this song in mind
Of you
And what you do to me

I even follow the rules
I close my eyes
And didn't move
If I was only stronger
I'd wish that I were stronger here
Referring to my heartsong dear
Cuz this day would be the longest of the year

I couldn't sleep last night
Just couldn't get it right
I couldn't sleep last night
By the light of day may my dreams be waiting

Oh, in time, in due time
I won't rest my thoughts of you

Could I be more lucky than I've grown to be
Just knowing that I know her
Why shouldn't I show her
Oh, the wiser getting older
Could she be more perfect in perfection her reflection is casting?
That's the last thing
I'm ever asking

I couldn't sleep last night
It wasn't for my lack of trying
I just couldn't sleep last night
This is the longest day of the year
