Through the sleepless nights I cry for you & wonder who is kissing you Oh these sleepless nights will break my heart in 2 Somehow through the days I don't give in I hide the tears that wait within Oh but then through sleepless nights I cry again Why did you go? Why did you go? Don't you know, don't you know I need you? I keep hoping you'll come back to me Oh let it be, please let it be Oh my love, please end these sleepless nights for me
