What are the lyrics to Leona Lewis's 'One More Sleep'?

Verse 1

Snow is falling all around us

My baby's coming home for Christmas

I've been up all night inside my bedroom

He said he'll be with me real soon

So I wait

And I wait

But I've had as much as I can take

Chorus

'Cause I've got five more nights of sleeping on my own

Four more days until you're coming home

Three more dreams of you and mistletoe

Two more reasons why I love you so

I've got five more nights until you're next to me

Four more days of being lonely

Three more wishes, I can barely breathe

If I can make it to Christmas Eve then it's

One more sleep (one more sleep until it's Christmas)

One more sleep (Can't believe how much I missed us)

One more sleep (One more sleep until it's Christmas)

One more sleep

Verse 2

Now I don't think I can remember

A cold and lonelier December

And I find myself singing at the window

Wondering when you're gonna get back home

So I try

And I try

But there is nothing I can do to pass this time

[Chorus]

Verse 3

Until we're rocking around the Christmas tree

Until I got you sitting next to me

We got a lot of catching up to do

I just can't take this missing you

[Chorus]
