Overnight

(album: Distant Drums - 1966)

(Overnight, Overnight, Overnight, Overnight, Overnight)

I met you on the Sunday night 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.

Oh, I sat down when I got home and gave my heart a warning
Overnight I dreamed about you
Overnight while count the sheep
Overnight I felt for you so hard I couldn't sleep.

All night long I wished you were my own
And when I came to I was hugging you like a hound dog hugs a bone
All night long my heart was standing still
And when I got up I pitched 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 the dream that really did come true.

And when I got up I pitched 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 the dream that really did come true.

Really did come true, that really did come true...
