Lyrics: Patty Loveless. Sleepless Nights.

(Boudleaux Bryant, Felice Bryant)

[Originally by Everly Brothers]

Through the sleepless nights I cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two

Somehow through the day I don't give in
I hide the tears that wait within
Oh, but through these sleepless nights I cry again

Why did you go? Why did you go?
Don't you know, don't you know I need you?

Through the sleepless nights I cry for you
And wonder who is kissing you
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two

Why did you go? Why did you go?
Don't you know, don't you know I need you?

I keep hoping you'll come back to me
Oh, let it be, please let it be
Oh, my love, please end these sleepless nights for me

These sleepless nights will break my heart
Oh, these sleepless nights will break my heart in two
