Lay Awake at Night

James “J.T.” Taylor

Ten thousand miles from summer to fall
Being away from you
Got me climbing up the walls, baby
Oh, girl, I wish that you were with me
Yes, darlin'
These arms of mine are empty tonight
This lonely bed is warm on one side
My love, it's lonely without you, whoa-oh-oh-oh...

The sounds of the street
Sing the same old melody
I fight, fight to stay alive
But that love song is killing me

I lay awake at night
Wishing your picture to life
Holding you close to me
That's my fantasy
Can't you hear me, girl
Cryin' out your name
I lay awake at night
Wishing your picture to life
I want you close to me
Much more than a fantasy
You're my reality

Telephone line is busy all night
What does it mean, something ain't right, baby
Oh, girl, if only I could talk to you
Things would be better
Intoxicated, I tumble and fall
Pray to my God, please hear my call
Oh, I'm in love, please, send her to me
Oh-oh-oh-oh...

In the village square
In the red light, the red light zone
I'm standing on the edge
Of being good and doing wrong, wrong, wrong

I lay awake at night
Wishing your picture to life
(Oh, baby)
Holding you close to me
That's my fantasy
Can't you hear me, girl
Cryin' out your name
I lay awake at night
Wishing your picture to life
I want you close to me
Much more than a fantasy
You're my reality

I lay awake at night
Wishing your picture to life
(Ooh-ooh, baby)
Holding you close to me
That's my fantasy
Can't you hear me, girl
Cryin' out your name
I lay awake at night
Wishing your picture to life
I want you close to me
Much more than a fantasy
You're my reality

I lay awake at night
(Intoxicated, I toss and turn)
Wishing your picture to life
(I pray to my God, I call His name)
Hold you close to me
(Please hear my call)
That's my fantasy
(And send her to me)
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh...
