Now I Lay Me Down To Weep Lyrics - Skeeter Davis

Now I lay me down to weep count my tears instead of sheep 

Say my prayers turn out the light but I just lay and weep all night 

Now I lay me down to cry pray the Lord that I might die 

But each morning I awake and listen to my poor heart break 

If only I could sleep at night I'd dream that you would hold me tight 

But I can't dream and I can't sleep so I just lay me down to weep 

Sleep won't come to cryin' eyes and my poor heart just can't realize 

That now you're in another's keep so I'll just lay me down to weep 

Sleep won't come to cryin' eyes... 

I'll just lay me down to weep
