it's Going To Be A Long Night
I toss and turn and now it's almost one.
I can't sleep and I can't get no peace.
The thought of you being gone,
I can't get the pain to cease.
I try to count sheep but they are keeping up too much noise.
I want to be with you but I really don't have a choice.
Yes, the night seems to go on and on.
And for me tonight will be too long.
