Early to bed
and late to rise
still my face shows
these tired eyes

At 4 o’clock 
I’m wide wake 
a bad habit
that’s hard to break

I try to sleep
but my mind reels
Round and round 
like a hamster wheel 

Hot chocolate
and milky drinks
don’t help me
get my forty winks 

Over the gate 
I count the sheep 
no sure way 
to a full nights sleep

To reach my dream
I hope and pray
for rested eyes 
to start the day
