Songtext I'd be sleeping if my baby were here John Wesley Harding

I'd be sleeping if my baby were here

If tonight were like last night
I wouldnt be thinking
But dreaming of somewhere I wanted to go
If tonight were like last night
I wouldnt be sinking
Or watching the sun coming up from below
Id be holding you tight
Youd have turned off the light
And Id be sleeping if my baby were here
Id be sleeping if my baby were here

And if time could go backwards
I wouldnt be lonely
Or playing back scenes bound to keep me awake
And if time could go backwards
Wed both just get younger
And do what we wanted with none of the ache
But instead theres just cars
None of them yours
And Id be sleeping if my baby were here
Id be sleeping if my baby were here

And the beds the same size without you
But its me that gets so small
The beds the same size without you
Wish I was big enough to fall

If a dream could come true
Then I wish I could have one
Stead of watching the headlights beat time with my heart
If a wish was a dream
Wed put reins on the sun
And ride it the wrong way
So we never would part
Id be holding you tight
Wed both be outta sight
And Id be sleeping if my baby were here
Id be sleeping if my baby were here
Id be sleeping if my baby were here.
