While the whole wide world is fast asleep.

 You lie awake and think about the boy.

And never even think of counting sheep.

When the whole wild world has learned its lesson.

He'd be yours if only you would call.

That's the time you miss him most of all. 
 
 
                 C        Dm7          C            Dm7 
When the sun is high in the afternoon sky. 
 
               C                Dm7              C 
You can always find something to do. 
 
               Em7     B7                 Em7          B7  
But from dusk till dawn, as the clock ticks on. 
 
G               Em7           Dm7   G7  
Something happens to you. 
 
 
Repeat first two verses
