Another Sleepless Night
Echoes of Love Lost: Neil Sedaka's Haunting Sleepless Night
Lyrics
Another sleepless night,
Expressing the experience of enduring yet another night without sleep
I sit alone and cry,
Feeling isolated and shedding tears while being alone
Twilight time 'til dawn,
From evening until morning, passing through the time between day and night
Memories linger on,
Recollections persist, memories remain
Since we said goodbye.
Referencing the separation and farewell between the speaker and their loved one
Throughout that sleepless night,
Continuing through the night without sleep
No matter what I do,
Regardless of efforts, unable to shake thoughts of the departed
You're always on my mind,
Constantly occupying the thoughts and memories despite absence
And though you're gone I find,
Realization of love still existing even though the person is no longer present
I'm still in love with you.
Admitting the continued deep affection for the departed individual
Shadows fall, and I recall,
As darkness arrives, reminiscing about the past love shared
The love that you once had for me.
Recalling the affection and care previously felt from the departed
Miss you so, when lights are low,
Feeling the absence keenly, especially in moments of reduced light
I think of things that use to be.
Reflecting on past experiences and memories during quieter times
You're always in my heart,
Despite physical absence, the departed person remains cherished in the heart
Although you're out of sight,
Emphasizing the enduring emotional connection despite being apart
Lonely teardrops burn,
Feeling the pain of separation, tears reflecting the emotional turmoil
As I toss and turn,
Experiencing restless tossing and turning while dealing with emotions
Another sleepless night.
Reiterating the experience of enduring a night without sleep
Although you're out of sight,
Re-emphasizing the emotional distance but strong emotional attachment
Lonely teardrops burn,
Continuing to feel the pain of separation and longing
As I toss and turn,
Expressing the restless state and emotional distress
Another sleepless night.
Repeating the sentiment of enduring another sleepless night
