I Can’t Sleep
Remember when you scraped your knees?
Crying “Momma, hold me once more, please”
And out she’d run and she’d dry your eyes
Saying “It’s okay baby now rockabye”
Sing to me again, oh mom, I’m tired and I can’t sleep
Sing to me again, oh mom, I’m tired and I can’t sleep
You miss the songs in your dad’s old car
The first time you heard it and watched the stars
When the nights were cold and your light-up shoes
Would stomp on the pavement and twinkle blue
Read to me again, oh dad, I’m tired and I can’t sleep
Read to me again, oh dad, I’m tired and I can’t sleep
Remember when the pictures aged
When the clock kept ticking and the band kept playing
Now the nights are cold and I dry my eyes
I sing “It’s okay baby rockabye”
Well read to me again, oh dad, I’m tired and I can’t sleep
Well sing to me again, oh mom, I’m tired and I can’t sleep
