Oh Lord I Wish I Could Sleep Lyrics - Singles - The Spinners

i close up the curtain 

and i pull down the blinds 

took a sleeping pill 

to help sleep come to my mind 

cause it's 3 a.m. 

and i'm wide awake 

thinking of you again 

how you said goodbye like suicide 

my love life came 

to an unexpected end baby

it's one two three four 

i'm just counting sheep 

oh lord i wish i could sleep 

it's five six seven eight 

and i'm just (still) counting sheep 

oh lord i wish i could sleep 

i felt happy friday 

when i heard you say 

that you'd like to be the girl 

that i marry someday 

now it's 4 a.m. 

and it's tuesday night 

life is filled with gloom 

i can't understand 

how my lifetime plans 

could end so fast 

only just one afternoon 

it's one two three four 

(oh what's wrong with me?) 

i'm just counting sheep 

(i'm trying to close my eyes) 

oh lord i wish i could sleep 

(but i just can't sleep) 

it's five six seven eight 

(it was friday baby) 

(and love was so sweet) 

and i'm just counting sheep 

(now it's tuesday night) 

oh lord i wish i could sleep 

(oh lord and i just can't sleep) 

oh lord i wanna sleep 

to escape from reality 

cause in my dreams 

i can make believe 

that you're still hear with me 

oh baby! 

the way it use to be!!!! 

aaaahhhhh!!! 

repeat chorus
