I'd Be Sleeping If My Baby Were Here Lyrics - John Wesley Harding

If tonight were like last night 

I wouldn't be thinking 

But dreaming of somewhere I wanted to go 

If tonight were like last night 

I wouldn't be sinking 

Or watching the sun coming up from below 

I'd be holding you tight 

You'd have turned off the light 

And I'd be sleeping if my baby were here 

I'd be sleeping if my baby were here 

And if time could go backwards 

I wouldn't be lonely 

Or playing back scenes bound to keep me awake 

And if time could go backwards 

We'd both just get younger 

And do what we wanted with none of the ache 

But instead there's just cars 

None of them yours 

And I'd be sleeping if my baby were here 

I'd be sleeping if my baby were here 

And the bed's the same size without you 

But it's me that gets so small 

The bed's the same size without you 

Wish I was big enough to fall 

If a dream could come true 

Then I wish I could have one 

Stead of watching the headlights beat time with my heart 

If a wish was a dream 

We'd put reins on the sun 

And ride it the wrong way 

So we never would part 

I'd be holding you tight 

We'd both be outta sight 

And I'd be sleeping if my baby were here 

I'd be sleeping if my baby were here 

I'd be sleeping if my baby were here.
