OVERNIGHT
Words and music by J. Leslie McFarland
(Recorded January 21, 1958)
I met you on a Sunday night and by that Monday morning
Overnight, although I wondered
Overnight, what's wrong with me
Overnight, love walked right in and shook me like a tree
Though I sat down when I got home and gave my heart a warning
Overnight, I dreamed about you
Overnight, while counting sheep
Overnight, I fell for you so hard I couldn't sleep
All night long I wished you were my own
And when I came to I was lovin' you like a hound dog loves his bone
All night long my heart was standin' still
And when I got up I pinched myself to see if this was real
Then you came by and told me dear
The same sweet Monday morning
Overnight, you dreamed about me
Overnight, you loved me, too
Overnight, we found a dream that really did come true
(All night long I wished you were my own)
When I came to I was lovin' you like a hound dog loves his bone
All night long my heart was standin' still
And when I got up I pinched myself to see if this was real
Then you came by and told me dear
The same sweet Monday morning
Overnight, you dreamed about me
Overnight, you loved me, too
Overnight, we found a dream that really did come true
Rally did come true
That really did come true
