I Won't Sleep Tonight

I lie in bed, but there is no rest,
There is no comfort for my head.
I wait for pause, hold out for hope,
But something tells me that
I won't sleep tonight.

I look into the black abyss--I see nothing
And everything all at once.
I can't turn this off, can't shut it down,
The scene plays over and over again.

On this screen of darkness,
My mind's eye can see
That I've had you a thousand times,
And still your presence eludes me.

Alas, there is no will or want if it is
My touch that keeps you away.
How is it that this thing we call passion
Could come with such fear and uncertainty?

Let me surrender unto the night,
Please let this be my good-night.
Even if I never woke up
At least you'd be out of sight.

But as mine close I still see your eyes,
(I guess I'll have to wait)
And they stare back at me, to tell me that
I won't sleep tonight,
I won't sleep tonight.

No I won't sleep tonight.
