You kept me awake last night thought about you till broad daylight
If you ask me it just ain't right this keeping me awake at night
How you expect a poor guy to last with nothing but a lonesome past
Though you're gone you're never out of sight you kept me awake last night
I was fooling myself by going to bed cause I saw your face in the book that I read
I hug my pillow and whispered sleep tight but you kept me awake last night
[ piano ]
When twilight came I said goodbye to the sun
Then thought about all those sweet things you've done
And I know the same thing will happen tonight you kept me awake last night
