5th Dimension, The - (Last Night) I Didn't Get To Sleep At All Lyrics






Last night, I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
I lay awake and watched until the morning light
Washed away the darkness of the lonely night (Lonely night)

Oh, and last night, I got to thinking maybe I, I, I
Should call you up and just forget my foolish pride
I heard your number ringing, I went cold inside
And last night, I didn't get to sleep at all

I know it's not my fault, I did my best
God knows this heart of mine could use a rest
But more and more I find the dreams I left behind
Are somehow too real to replace (Replace)

Oh, last night, I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
The sleeping pill I took was just a waste of time
I couldn't close my eyes 'cause you were on my mind
And last night, I didn't get to sleep, didn't get to sleep
No, I didn't get to sleep at all

But more and more I find the dreams I left behind
Are somehow too real to replace (Replace)

Oh, last night, I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
The sleeping pill I took was just a waste of time
I couldn't close my eyes 'cause you were on my mind
And last night, I didn't get to sleep, didn't get to sleep
No, I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no, no
(No, no, no) No, no, no
Oh, last night, I didn't get to sleep at all, no, no
Last night, I didn't get to sleep at all, oh, oh
Last night

    I lost my son and all that I feel is stuck. Inside. I would give my life for 5 more minutes from a 5 year old child; I can't seem to get over it. I love this song because the lyrics reflect how I feel from day to day.

  19. a.... ....

    Marilyn McCoo the gold standard in music. Her and Dionne Warwick there were none better.

  20. K.... P....

    Marilyn's voice is insane - never enough credit...

  21. j.... k....

    Another killer tune brought to life by the Wrecking Crew in LA. The Wrecking Crew documentary is a must see look it up. R.I.P. Tommy Tedesco

  23. B.... C....

    Marilyn has the best voice. Listened to her when I was a kid and I still enjoy listening to her.

    B.... C....

    She most definitely does! I have no idea how she flew under the radar like that. Her voice is hands down my favorite of any female singer I've ever heard.

    B.... C....

    @Carrie White ...agree,my feelings also.

  24. f.... ....

    Would They Think That The Taste of Racism Didn't Happen Here! But Would "I" Report That The Bride To Be Will Be Taken Up! Kiss Me! Jesus For A Brunette! Oh Won't You Take My Hand In True Metamophosis!...>Barack Their New World Order Ruler..CERN666!

    Amazing,amazing... 5th Dimension...I Didn't Get To Sleep All

  28. S.... S....

    Beautiful !!!!

  29. L.... P....

    20 years ago I stopped by my daughter-in-law family gathering at Christmas. Twas a large number of people and this big old guy back in the the corner starts singing. I commented what a nice voice he has. My in-law laughs and says, "You know who that is don't you?" I said 'Uh, no'. He says "Ronnie Townsen". I responded 'I don't know who that is'. He clarifies, "Ronnie Townsen of the 5th Dimension". I've never been a star struck person and I introduced myself to him. He was quite a normal and likeable person - not the most conversive, though.

  30. s.... ....

    Marilyn's voice is like a warm blanket and a hot cup of chocolate.

    s.... ....

    @Avis Jones Norris Oh, okay. He's still my favorite.

    Talented group. These are the songs you would want to hear right through

    My mom used to play this song sooo much after my father passed away

  52. R.... F....

    I was a volunteer at a charity event once, manning the phone with others, and taking donations pledges. Marilyn & Billy walked in, and I don't remember who I left on hold, I ran over (after they were off camera) to get an autograph. My, was she beautiful, and if I was older at that time, I would have made eyes at her so very handsome husband. What a couple!

  53. x.... ....

  57. J.... T....

    Saw Marilyn at KTLA Solid Gold show in 1982 .
    Class, beauty, and that voice.
    Can't be replicated.

  58. t.... j....

    Yes McCoo is great, but also as a group they harmony is excellent, as well as the mixing.

  59. B.... G....

    Marilyn McCoo, one of the great under-rated voices of the last 50 years! She was beautiful!

  60. S.... P....

    I was 25 and at the peak of my game. What a singer.

    In other news, Niki Minaj is retiring. Now let's get back to real music.

  68. a.... t....

    One of the most under rated groups of all time. They fused pop, Broadway, rock, acid rock (1969) and perfection all rolled up into one of the most unique and talented groups since David Clayton Thomas and BS&T

  69. C.... W....

    Last night I didn't take my medicine at all

  70. B.... R....

    I just found a list of songs that I wrote when I was 17. I don't remember writing it, and I dont remember why. This song was on the list. Its really good. I guess I've always had good taste!

  79. G.... E....

    Written by Tony Macaulay and released in 1972, I loved it when I first heard it on radio and have done ever since.

  80. J.... D....

    I don't know much about music. If I like the sound of a song, I listen. Which is the case with the 5th Dimension. Marilyn McCoo has perhaps the greatest voice in the history of pop music.
    Her voice is beautiful, lovely, sexy and romantic. I can't think of anyone off hand who even comes close to her talents. I could listen to her sing all day. If you really listen to her, she sounds like an angel. What a wonderful human being. Spreading joy to so many people with
    her angelic voice.

  81. G.... L....

    I was a little boy listening to my Moms Albums.

  82. D.... S....

    Lembranças boas que guardarei sempre no meu coração 💕💕💕

  83. c.... t....

    For some of unknown reason, when I listened to this beautiful song while lying in bed, i feel so relax and went to sleep effortless.

  87. S.... P....

    one of my favorite songs. Great Song!!!!😪

  88. M.... M....

    This group along with the Mamas & Poppas & maybe the Starland Vocal Band are probably the best harmony singers of their time.

    M.... M....

    Michael McNulty There were so many good ones back then. Where do you start?

  89. g.... g....

    Everyone’s talking about how good and classic this song is. Imma be honest I care here because of the toy story trailer. Cuase that was my first time hearing this song honestly and it’s a good one.

  90. B.... L....

  94. M.... S....

    Wow, what memories this brings back. What a voice. ♥️

  95. B.... ....

    I used to listen to this over and over and over. This was one of my favorites.

  96. K.... G....

    I always thought the 5th dimension was the bomb.

  97. m.... ....

    In the early 1970s when I was kid, a joke circulated about the song title being about someone who's flatulent all night long----and keeping the entire house awake inhaling whatever it was that disagreed with the offending person's digestive system.
