You've Got to Go to Sleep Alone lyrics

You may dance the night away and laugh among the stars

You may spill the milk away and cry out in the bars

You may wake the rafters, break the heart of stone

But you've 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 someone you really love

You've got to go to sleep alone

And you may climb the golden stairs somewhere past Jacob's ladder

You may put on golden airs and help the rich get sadder

You may learn the golden rule, sit on a golden throne

Still you've got to go to sleep alone

Or you may wake up in the night and wonder if you're dreaming

Referee the fight between the being and the seeming

But when the victor holds a hand up to the great unknown

Know you've 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 someone you really love

You've 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 someone you really love

You've got to go to sleep alone
