I Forgot About Sleeping

Words and Music ©2013 by John Speckine LYRICS BELOW. This is a fun little song about the affect on your sleep habits meeting the love of your life can have. It starts with that giddy "just starting out" phase of a relationship, then moves to the "you carbonate my hormones" phase, and finally to the "been together a long time but you still turn me on" phase. Amazing how much sleep you DON'T get when you have that someone around. :) Inspired by the way-too-short amount of time I got to spend with the love of MY life (my Jody). :) The bass line was a hoot to play and you might hear certain sounds of old - for example: Dire Straits guitar and Grateful Dead harmony. Who knows what else? None of that was planned, but they sounded okay to me so I kept them. I guess I'm a slave to my growing-up music. :) LYRICS: Do you love me? Do you love me? Do you wanna have my love? Do you love me? Do you want my love for you? Do you want a love you know is true? Do you love me? You said you loved me on Monday And then you kissed me goodnight I lay awake thinking one day We'd be together for life And I forgot about sleeping All night You're everything I ever dreamed For me Do you want me? Do you want me? Do you wanna have me in your life? Do you want me? Do you always want me there? Do you wanna know I'll always care? Do you want me? I asked you out to a movie Then we went out for a bite And for the first time, I asked you If you could just spend the night And I forgot about sleeping All night You're everything I ever dreamed For me BREAK The days go by and your with me Weeks pass and you're by my side The months roll on and you kiss me Each day to start the day right And I forgot about sleeping Last night You're everything I ever dreamed For me And you love me. Yeah, you love me. Said you wanna hold me every night. Yeah, you love me. Said you always want me 'round And you're happy with the love we've found Yeah, you want me Said you love me Yeah, you love me Words and Music ©2013 by John Speckine
