When the sun is high
In the afternoon sky,
You can always find something to do.
But from dusk till dawn,
As the clock ticks on,
Something happens to you.


In the wee small hours of the morning,
While the whole wide world has gone to sleep,
You lie awake and think about the boy,
And never ever think of counting sheep.

When your lonely heart has learned its lesson,
You'd be hers if only he would call.
In the wee small hours of the morning,
That's the time you miss him most of all.

In the wee small hours of the morning,
That's the time you miss him most of all.

IN THE WEE SMALL HOURS OF THE MORNING
as sung by
Frank Sinatra


In the wee small hours of the morning
While the whole wide world is fast asleep
You lie awake and think about the girl
And never ever think of counting sheep
When your lonely heart has learned its lesson
You'd be hers if only she would call
In the wee small hours of the morning
That's the time you miss her most of all
