We Lay Awake
We lay awake for a long time,
And knew that gifts we liked to shake
Would wait till out of bed we’d climb.
We lay awake.
All five girls did what it would take
For Christmas day to turn out fine.
And Mom put turkey on to bake.
To sleep so long seemed a bad crime.
Yes, hurry Dad, for goodness sake!
We waited long to hear, “It’s time!”
We lay awake.
