Sleeping and Waking Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Just for the record
You ought to know that I love you
Because the damage that you've done
I know you still could do
So fun time is over
And I guess it's enough
Oh, but just for the record
It was a little too rough

[Pre-Chorus]
All that night when I looked for you
Without a word to say
Knowing that I was looking through
The longest night, the longest day

[Chorus]
Sleeping and waking
Is the hardest thing to do
When you are taking
Every dream I had of you
Sleeping and waking

[Verse 2]
Tell me what love is
Or rather what you expected
Because I've often wondered
What you did not get
When all through the town I
Heard your heart beating wrong, I
Felt the sickness come on, I
Knew that you were gone
[Pre-Chorus]
So now I'm left with an empty bed
What a place to stay
Saying things that were never said
Through the longest night, the longest day

[Chorus]
Sleeping and waking
Is the hardest thing to do
When you are taking
Every dream I had of you
Sleeping and waking
Is the hardest thing to do
When you are taking
Every dream I had of you
Sleeping and waking

[Outro]
Sleeping and waking
Sleeping and waking
Makes the longest night
The longest night
The longest night
The longest day

  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
