John Wesley Harding - I'd Be Sleeping If My Baby Were Here lyrics

rate me

If tonight were like last night

I wouldn't be thinking

But dreaming of somewhere I wanted to go

If tonight were like last night

I wouldn't be sinking

Or watching the sun coming up from below

I'd be holding you tight

You'd have turned off the light

And I'd be sleeping if my baby were here

I'd be sleeping if my baby were here

And if time could go backwards

I wouldn't be lonely

Or playing back scenes bound to keep me awake

And if time could go backwards

We'd both just get younger

And do what we wanted with none of the ache

But instead there's just cars

None of them yours

And I'd be sleeping if my baby were here

I'd be sleeping if my baby were here

And the bed's the same size without you

But it's me that gets so small

The bed's the same size without you

Wish I was big enough to fall

If a dream could come true

Then I wish I could have one

Stead of watching the headlights beat time with my heart

If a wish was a dream

We'd put reins on the sun

And ride it the wrong way

So we never would part

I'd be holding you tight

We'd both be outta sight

And I'd be sleeping if my baby were here

I'd be sleeping if my baby were here

I'd be sleeping if my baby were here.
