A 21 gun salute to the '60s, this tune is not a glass of warm milk: “I wonder where you are tonight, I wonder if you’re happy, did things work out ok for you? Is life the way it should be?”
lyrics
When I Can’t Sleep by Maureen Paraventi
Verse 1
I wonder where you are tonight, I wonder if you’re happy?
Did things work out OK for you, is life the way it should be?
Or do you sometimes feel you’re drowning in an ocean of regret?
In the silence of the nighttime are there things you can’t forget? Too many things ~ You can’t forget
Chorus
But if you lose your way, you know there’ll be another day
All the mistakes you made in time are gonna fade away
With every breath you take you get a second chance
At least that’s what I tell myself when I can’t sleep.
Verse 2
I always thought the road I chose would take me some place better
It got me lost and turned around, I ended up untethered.
And now I sometimes feel if I could only start over again
I would see the signs that warned me about what was ‘round the bend - I’d see the signs ~ in time
CHORUS Instrumental CHORUS
Outro
At least that’s what I tell myself when I can’t sleep
