Lyrics
Close your eyes, a velvet sigh, and a dream to follow.
Lay your sleepy head alone in my room.
After i sing tonight in this broke-down roadhouse, 4 am I'll try to dream my way to you.
But, I can't sleep, I can't sleep.
But my patience is gone, the juke-joint closed down, and I'm alone.
You're half a milliona stars away, am I ever gonna see you again
The sunrise in your eyes it makes me realize am I ever gonna see see you again?
Drift along , safe and warm with your head on my pillow.
May the angels send a kiss from me to you/
I am turning around from this border town and time's a' wasting . In the dusky morning hour I'll make it up to you.
I can't sleep. I can't sleep.
My patience is gone, the juke-joint closed down and I'm all alone.
Girl, you're half a milion stars away..Am I ever gonna see you again ?
Cause the starlight in your eyes, it makes me realize I can never pass this way again.
Sleep now, and tomorrow we'll see if you're strong enough to wait for me
From a cold starry night till the early morning light, I am alone until i see you again..
