These sleepless nights won't mean a thing come tomorrow i'll be dreamin the day away inside my head again the moonlight and the cool night air reminding me of why i'm here i lay awake in my old bed and stare
and i can't bring myself tonight to shut my eyes, turn off the lights i hope that some way if i stay up late the stars will shine so bright
and oh, i try to fall asleep i hear the floor boards creek beneath my bed i pull the sheets over my head and i, i can't be scared tonight i need to close my eyes and just pretend that all the monsters in my room are my dear friends
oh i'll never know why i'm still here why i can't fall asleep to save my life it's getting late but i'm not tired i tried so hard to make my wish at 11 past 11 and i'll never tell the whole world what my biggest secret is
and i want to know what i'll be dreamin of when i get my eyes to close someday soon, my secret wish will come true
these sleepless nights won't mean a thing come tomorrow we'll be singin we need to close our eyes and make believe
