Trying Not To Fall Asleep

My eyelids are getting very heavy My will to stay away is getting weak As I lay here tonight Mama's turning out the light I know that there is so much more to see If I close my eyes I know that I'll be missing something A shooting star or something good on the TV Daddy don't be mad if you hear me crying I'm only trying not to fall asleep Whatever's going on outside my window I'm not tall enough to look out there and see When things go bump in the night and I'm terrified from fight I thank God that I have Teddy lying next to me If I close my eyes I know that I'll be missing something A shooting star or something good on the TV Daddy don't be mad if you hear me crying I'm only trying not to fall asleep If I close my eyes I know that I'll be missing something A shooting star or something good on the TV Daddy don't be mad if you hear me crying I'm only trying not to fall I'm just trying not to fall I'm just trying not to fall asleep
