Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Why can't it wait 'til morning?
We can talk about it then
'Cause I've had a drink too many
And my troubles, well I ain't got any
[Verse 2]
Why can't it wait 'til daylight?
Things will seem much clearer then
I'm tired and my eyes are weary
And I just want you lying here with me
[Verse 3]
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh so nice
[Verse 4]
Well I don't wanna think about what we've said
And I don't wanna know why we hurt ourselves
'Cause I just wanna hold you so close to me
It'll take care of itself and I wanna sleep
[Verse 5]
So why can't it wait 'til next time?
'Cause that time may never come
Stay here with your arms around me
You're going nowhere without me
[Verse 6]
So close your eyes
I'll make it oh so nice for you
