Tonight I sit awake and wonder 
I sit awake, I cannot fake the slumber  

Called you late last night 
just to see if you'd answer 
to know you're alright 
I'm trying to show what I feel inside 
love I no longer can hide 

So tonight I sit awake and I try 
to count the minutes til the next time that you and I are together 
I promise you that I will try 
I will try... 
Ooohhh... 

I cannot read your mind 
I'm asking you questions, and I wait for replies 
If you would say the words I'm wanting you to say 
these words will draw us nearer, I'm seeing things clearer 
and right now that try as I may to hold you tight 
it's gonna be another lonely night 

Tonight... 
I sit awake and I try... 
to count the minutes til the next time that you and I are together 
I promise you that I will try 
I will try to be the one that you need 
if you just reach out for me 
I will always be there 
I swear... 

Tonight... 
I sit awake and I try... 
to count the minutes til the next time that you and I are together 
I promise you that, I promise you that, I promise... you that 
I promise you that I will try 
I will try... 
Ooohhh... 
Eeehhh 

Baaa Baaabe 
Ooohhh...
