Lyrics

Sleeping Single

[Intro]

Ow!

Oh

[Verse 1]

Here's the house, here's the city and the stream

Here's the father to my dream

Here's the lost and lonely look in your eyes

When you leave, I will break down and cry

[Chorus]

Sleeping single, I will wait for you

Sleeping single 'till you change your mind

Sleeping single, I will wait for you

'Till time (Time) has gone by

[Verse 2]

I'll pay the price

For all the love you poured like rain

"Toujours l'amour" over again

But the midnight chills are getting so rough

And the bed is big enough for both of us

[Chorus]

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single, I will wait for you

(Won't you change your mind?)

Sleeping single 'till you change your mind

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single, I will wait for you

'Till time (Time) has gone by, oh-oh-oh-oh

Sleeping single, I would die for you

(Won't you change your mind?)

Sleeping single, won't you change your way?

(I will pray for you)

Sleeping single, I will pray for you

To stay, he-he-hey, hey, hey, hey

[Instrumental Break]

[Interlude]

'Till time has gone by, has gone by

[Chorus]

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single, I will wait for you

(Won't you change your mind?)

Sleeping single 'till you change your mind

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single, I will wait for you

'Till time has gone by

Hey, baby, I would die for you

(Won't you change your mind?)

Sleeping single, won't you, won't you change your way?

(I will wait for you)

Sleeping single, I will pray for you

To stay, he-he-hey, hey, hey

[Outro]

Won't you change your mind?

Oh, baby, oh-oh

Ow!
