Collin Raye - Counting Sheep lyrics

(Robert Ellis Orrall)

I'm counting the cracks on the wall by my bed

‘Cause I can't get to sleep

And my mother said

To try counting sheep as they're jumpin' the fence

But the fence has a hole

And the sheep snuck out

Their tails are wagging

Back and forth in celebration

Farmer Sam is calling out their names

But he's yelling to loud and I can't get to sleep

And it's all on account

Of those runaway sheep

Now they're out in the woods eating ice-cream and cake

Dancing ‘round and around

That's why I'm awake

Unless I'm dreaming

This is all to silly to be really happening

They've all got party hats

Every one of those sheep has a bell on it's neck

Going ring-a-ding-ding

I'm a nervous wreck

They're ringing so loud

Tell me why it won't stop

A familiar sound

Just like my alarm clock

Hey no wonder

I can hear Mom say good morning

Time for breakfast

Tell me what you dreamed
