My eyelids are getting very heavy
|
My will to stay away is getting weak
|
As I lay here in the night
|
My eyes turn out the light
|
I know that's so much to see
|
If I close my eyes I know that I'll be missing something
|
A shooting star or something good on the TV
|
Buddy, don't be mad if you hear me crying
|
I'm only trying not to fall asleep
|
Whatever is gone on outside my window
|
I'm not trying enough to look on there and see
|
When things go boom in the night and I'm terrified of fight
|
I thank to God that I've Teddy next to me
|
If I close my eyes I know that I'll be missing something
|
A shooting star or something good on the TV
|
Buddy, don't be mad if you hear me crying
|
I'm only trying not to fall
|
I'm just trying not to fall
|
I'm just trying not to fall asleep.
