Now I Lay Me Down To Weep Composer(s): Carolyn Penick; Skeeter Davis Performer(s): Skeeter Davis
Now I lay me down to weep Count my tears instead of sheep Say my prayers, turn out the light But I just lay and weep all night
Now I lay me down to cry Pray the Lord that I might die But each morning I awake And listen to my poor heart break
If only I could sleep at night I'd dream that you would hold me tight But I can't dream if I can't sleep So I just lay me down to weep
(Spoken) (Sleep won't come to cryin' eyes) (And my poor heart just can't realize) (That now you're in another's keep) (So I just lay me down to weep)
Sleep won't come to cryin' eyes And my poor heart just can't realize That now you're in another's keep So I just lay me down to weep I just lay me down to weep
