When the sun is high in the af-ter-noon sky, 
you can al-ways find some-thing to do.
But from dusk till dawn, as the clock ticks on,
some-thing hap-pens to you.

In the wee small hours_ of the morn-ing,__
while the whole wide world is fast a-sleep,
you lie a-wake and think a-bout the girl/(boy)
and nev-er ev-er think of count-ing sheep.

When your lone-ly heart has learned its
les-son___ you'd be her's (his) if on-ly she (he) would call.
In the wee small hours_ of the morn-ing,___
that's the time you miss her (him) most  of  all.
