Why did I sleep so long?
Most of the day is gone
I was having a dream, but I don't know the meaning
Why did I sleep so long?

There goes another day
Wasted and thrown away
All of the lights are out
All of the shades are drawn
Why did I sleep so long?

If I only had some place to go
Someone to see, someone to know
If I only had someone to say
Wake up, sleepyhead, you're sleeping your life away

Why did I sleep so long?
I could get up at dawn
If I only had someone to go put the coffee on
Why did I sleep so long?

If I only had some place to go
Someone to see, someone to know
If I only had someone to say
Wake up, sleepyhead, you're sleeping your life away

Why did I sleep so long? 
(Oh, I don't know)
I could get up at dawn
If I only had someone to go put the coffee on
Why did I sleep so long?

Why did I sleep so long?
