Go to Sleep Alone

Go to Sleep Alone - Jimmie Dale Gilmore

Well you may dance the night away

And laugh among the stars

And you may spill the milky way

And cry among the bars

And you may wake the rafters

And break the heart of stone

But you got to go to sleep alone

You've got to go to sleep alone

You've got to go to sleep alone

And even if you're lying with somebody

Still you've got to go to sleep alone

Well you may climb the golden stairs

When we're past Jacob Ladder

And you may put on golden airs

And make the rich get sadder

You may learn the golden rule

And sit on a golden throne

But you got to go to sleep alone

You've got to go to sleep alone

You've got to go to sleep alone

Even if you're lying with somebody

You've got to go to sleep alone

Well you may wake up in the night

And wonder if you're dreaming

And referee the fights between

The being and the seeming

And when the victor holds

Your hand up to the great unknown

You got to go back to sleep alone

You've got to go to sleep alone

You've got to go to sleep alone

Even if you're lying with somebody you really love

Still you've got to go to sleep alone
