Sleepless Night

I am tired but I cannot fall asleep The thoughts are colorful and deep I keep on turning from left to right I am boxing with myself. It's like a fight I feel your absence I need your presence By me, next to me I am not sleepy I feel strange and awkward I feel like a coward I cannot fall a sleep The thoughts are numerous and deep I keep on playing with my pillows I miss you dearly, my gorgeous rose I have the urge to get up to write This is not fair. This is not right I want to fall asleep so I can dream I want to share with you an ice cream I want you to try a new flavor Yes, I always want a favor I miss you. I want you by my side I want you, of course, inside Not outside of the bedroom I don't think that you're in the bathroom I am not happy; I have no idea where you are I am guessing: oh! No, you are not at the bar This is a sleepless night for me Darling, I miss you dearly I cannot fall a sleep This is deep. I want to be deep In a beautiful dream at the beach Where you and I are healthy and rich We are having a lot of fun During the day under the sun And at nighttime under the moon I miss you immensely, my darling I need you to sing a lullaby tune And to cradle me on the swing.
