Won't Sleep Tonight
by Jaylene Johnson

Album: Wish

Somewhere too far away from here, in the middle of the sea
You watch the water and you're thinking about me
You know I see the same bright stars, you know what I wish
Do you know that I feel selfish when I pray for it

Cause I wish that you were walking through the door
But I know that when you can another ship will leave the shore

The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight 'til all the sailors can come home

Somewhere there's a hero, in some forgotten place
He watches his boy dreaming, bends to kiss his tiny face
Then he holds on to his wife, breathes her in for one last while
She tries to fight the goodbye tears so he can see her smile

He'll go, though that he can't save everyone
He'll pay the price of freedom for his lover and his son

The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight 'til all the sailors can come home

Young men and women grown too fast
Standing guard while life slips past
We eat, we drink not thinking of their loss
They've had to leave somebody too
Who misses them like I'm missing you
I want to have you here, but what a cost

I wish that you were walking through the door
But I know that when you can another ship will leave the shore

The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight
The world won't sleep tonight 'til all the sailors can come home

(Somewhere too far away from here, in the middle of the sea
You're watch the water and you are thinking about me)
