The big clock on the wall shows way past two and I'm still waiting up for you   It's plain to see that you're not coming home so now I lay me down to sleep alone   My arms ache to hold you like old times how I long to feel your lips on mine   Without you and your love I've been dyin' for so long   So now I lay me down to sleep alone   [ steel ]   While I search my mind for just one sign of hope tonight   You're out somewhere holding someone else so tight   I know I've been a fool for hanging on so now I lay me down to sleep alone   My arms ache to hold you...   Now I lay me down to sleep alone
