Now I Lay Me Down To Sleep Alone Lyrics - Bonnie Owens

The big clock on the wall shows way past two and I'm still waiting up for you 

It's plain to see that you're not coming home so now I lay me down to sleep alone 

My arms ache to hold you like old times how I long to feel your lips on mine 

Without you and your love I've been dyin' for so long 

So now I lay me down to sleep alone 

[ steel ] 

While I search my mind for just one sign of hope tonight 

You're out somewhere holding someone else so tight 

I know I've been a fool for hanging on so now I lay me down to sleep alone 

My arms ache to hold you... 

Now I lay me down to sleep alone
