Gettin' tired now gotta get some sleep now Guess I've been worried much too long And don't wake me till it's over When the need for you is gone I was so happy before I loved you I'm gonna be like I was before And don't wake me till it's over When I don't want you anymore My mind is gettin' weak now gotta get some sleep now I gotta rest my achin' head I just want to lay here just let me stay here Till the blues get up and leave my bed Good night, darling Good night, darling Good night forevermore And don't wake me till it's over When I won't want you anymore My mind is gettin' weak now...
