One More Sleep
Lyrics
Snow was fallin' all around us
My baby's comin' home for Christmas
I've been up all night inside my bedroom
He said that he'll be with me real soon
So I wait
And I wait
But I've had as much as I can take
'Cause I got five more nights of sleepin' on my own
Four more days until you're comin' home
Three more dreams of you and mistletoe
Two more reasons why I love you so
I got five more nights until you're next to me
Four more days of being lonely
Three more wishes, I can barely breathe
If I can make it to Christmas Eve
Then it's one more sleep
(One more sleep until it's Christmas)
One more sleep
(Can't believe how much I missed us)
One more sleep
(One more sleep until it's Christmas)
One more sleep, yeah
Now I don't think I can remember
A colder, lonelier December
And I find myself staring out the window
Wondering when you're gonna get back home
So I try (try)
And I try (try)
But there is nothin' I can do to pass this time
I got five more nights of sleepin' on my own
Four more days until you're comin' home
Three more dreams of you and mistletoe
Two more reasons why I love you so
I got five more nights until you're next to me
Four more days of being lonely
Three more wishes, I can barely breathe
If I can make it to Christmas Eve
Then it's one more sleep
(One more sleep until it's Christmas)
One more sleep
(Can't believe how much I missed us)
One more sleep, yeah
(One more sleep until it's Christmas)
One more sleep, oh
Until we're rockin' 'round the Christmas tree
Until I got you sittin' next to me
We got a lot of catchin' up to do
I just can't take this missin' you
Five more nights on my own
Four more days, mm-hm
Three more dreams, mistletoe
I can't believe I ever let you go, yeah
Five more nights of sleepin' on my own (on my own)
Four more days until you're comin' home (until you're comin' home)
Three more wishes, I can barely breathe
If I can make it to Christmas Eve (if I can make it)
(Then it's one more sleep)
It'll be one more, it'll be one more
(One more sleep)
It'll be one more
(One more sleep) yeah-yeah
One more sleep, yeah-yeah, oh, oh
