Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta I’m wide awake, oh
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Oh-oh

Sitting on the floor
This is where I wanna be
Sipping on my cup of tea
And so, it is getting late
Message says you got held up
I will sit here bundled up, and wait
Even if it’s hours till you’re here, we had a date
You’ll come bearing flowers to surprise me, like you do
I know it is true

I’ll be wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake to wait for you
I’m wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake to wait for you, oh

Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta I’m wide awake, oh
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Oh-oh

If I concentrate
Well I can almost hear your steps
Up the stairs, and at my door
Days go by so fast
Oh, so much catching up to do
I never see you anymore
And you, when I said I missed you
Will you say you miss me too?
Maybe your response will be a slow and special smile
Stay a little while

I’ll be wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake to wait for you
I’m wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake to wait for you, oh

Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta I’m wide awake, oh
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Oh-oh

And so, it is getting chilly but I shouldn’t go to bed
I’ll stay here and wait for you, wait up for you instead
It is not that bad

’Cause I’m wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake to wait for you
I’m wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake to wait for you
I’m wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake to wait for you
Wide awake, wide awake
Wide awake to wait for you, oh

Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta I’m wide awake, oh
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Oh-oh

Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta I’m wide awake, oh
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta-ra
Ta-ta I’m wide awake now
