Wake Up - Paul Anka

I close my eyes and find you

In the dreams I had at night

As you live across my memory

Like a shadow in the light

It’s amazing what I tell myself, that I don’t care at all

I think i’ve gotten over you but I take two steps so fall

When all alone it was me who has gone and just to plan to see

Of all the things that touched my life, you’ve been the best for me

And when I wake up, there’s an empty bed to make up

Isn’t easy when you break up, with someone you love like you

What can you do?

And when I rise up, there are tears that fill my eyes up

And it’s too late for me to wise up

Cause I was wrong and now we’re through, what can i do?

I must have tried a hundred the ways, trying to forget

I wind up with the same two things, a glass and cigarette

A man’s a fool, who fools himself, who hides behind his pride

I know too well from tears to fell and all the nights I cry

Amazing what you think of when you sit around at night

With drink in hand I sit there and I blackout like the light

And when I wake up, there’s an empty bed to make up

It isn’t easy when you break up, with someone you love like you

What can you do?

And when I rise up, there are tears that fill my eyes up

But it’s too late for me to wise up

Cause I was wrong and now we’re through, what can i do?
