In the Wee Small Hours of the Morning
Yearning in the Silent Hours: Exploring the Emotions of 'In the Wee Small Hours'
Lyrics
In the wee small hours of the morning
In the early, quiet hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
While the entire world is asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
You stay awake and reflect on the girl
And never even think of counting sheep
Without diverting your thoughts to mundane things like counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
After your lonely heart has gained wisdom through experience
You'd be hers if only she would call
You would belong to her if she would only reach out
In the wee small hours of the morning
In the early, quiet hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most
That's when you feel the absence of her the most
When the sun is high in the afternoon sky
When the sun is high and the day is busy
You can always find something to do
You can always find activities to fill your time
But from dusk till dawn as the clock ticks on
But from dusk till dawn, as time passes
Something happens to you
Something profound affects you emotionally
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
After your lonely heart has gained wisdom through experience
You'd be hers if only she would call
You would belong to her if she would only reach out
In the wee small hours of the morning
In the early, quiet hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all
That's when her absence is most deeply felt
That's the time you miss her most of all
Emphasizing that this is the time of greatest longing
