Eyes Won't Close

As I sit here alone in the dark
With just the flicker of the TV
My eyes feel oh so heavy
My mind is all so hazy

I want to rest my weary head
Let my body just relax and sigh
Let go of all that's in my brain
Worries on my shoulder...goodbye

My eyes are so so very tired
They want to shut a while
To fall into slumbers arms
Go to sleep like that of a child

My eyes won't close
They fight the will to sleep
I've tried reading and writing
I refuse to count any sheep

So I'm still sat here, in the dark
The flicker of the TV, still on
I feel sleep is really calling me
So I won't be here for long
