I Sleep Alone Every Single Night

I sleep alone
Every single night
Pulling the sheet
Up to my neck
Holding my pillow tight
 
 Thinking of my lover
Holding me tight
I sleep alone
Every
 Single
Night
 
I toss and turn
Every single night
Needing his arms around me
Holding me tight
But it is just a dream
Here lies my plight
I sleep alone
Every
Single
 Night
 
 I sleep alone
Every single night
Yearning for my lover
As my dreams take flight
This is my nighttime ritual
This is my night time rite
 I sleep alone
Every
 Single
Night
 
 
At night I need my lover
I need his sweet caress
The sleep laced “I love you”
My head on his chest
The night time ritual
I once knew
But here lies my plight
He can’t be here
So I fight back the tears
And sleep alone
Every
 Single
 Night
 
I sleep alone
Every single night
Missing the intimacy
 Holding my pillow tight
Missing that feeling
Alone in my bed
Alone
Thoughts running through my head
This is my nightly ritual
This is my plight
I sleep alone
Every
Single
Night
 
 I sleep alone
Every single night
Missing the heat of a lover
Hands gently touching my face
I miss
Embracing the calm of a lover
Lost within this place
 
I sleep alone
Every single night
It’s so hard to get unused
To what you are used to
So hard when it disappears
So hard to lose what calms you
What you felt would always be there

Don’t take for granted you lover
That you sleep next to every night
Don’t take for granted that person
 That holds you oh so tight
Kiss them embrace the moments
That you have with them every night
 
 Take the advice from a woman
Who sleeps alone
Every
Single
 Night
