Song lyrics to I Couldn’t Sleep a Wink Last Night, Written by Jimmy McHugh, lyrics Harold Adamson

Originally “I Couldn’t Sleep a Wink Last Night” was written for the 1944 film Higher and Higher. It was nominated for the Oscar for Best Original Song, but lost to “Swinging on a Star

I couldn’t sleep a wink last night
Because we had that silly fight
I thought my heart would break the whole night through
I knew that you’d be sorry and I’m sorry too

I didn’t have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
‘Cause I couldn’t sleep a wink last night

I didn’t have my favorite dream
The one in which I hold you tight
I had to call you up this morning
To see if everything was still all right
Yes, I had to call you up this morning
Cause I couldn’t sleep a wink last night
