Standard (EADGBE)
Verse
I couldn't sleep last night
I laid awake and wished you were here
I wished that I had more time to make more mistakes
I'd make them louder and clearer
Chorus
I couldn't sleep last night
It wasn't for my lack of trying
I just couldn't sleep last night___
Not a light was on
While I held this song in mind of you
And what you do, what you do to me
Verse
I even followed the rules
I closed my eyes I didn't move
If I was only stronger I wish that I was stronger here
Referring to my heartsong dear
Cause this day will be the longest of the year
Chorus
I couldn't sleep last night
I just couldn't get it right
I just couldn't sleep last night___
By the light of day may my dreams be waiting
Bridge
In time
In due time
I will rest my thoughts of you
Solo
Could I be more lucky than I've grown to be just knowing that I know her
Why shouldn't I show her all the wise of getting older
Could she be more perfect in perfection her reflection is casting
Well that's the last thing I'm ever asking
Chorus
I couldn't sleep last night
I just couldn't get it right
I just couldn't sleep last night___
Outro
This is the longest day of the year
