Waking Up Is Hard To Do: A Song for New Parents

(with apologies to Neal Sedaka)

Don’t take my sleep away from me

Don’t you leave my dreams in misery

If you do, then I’ll be blue

‘Cause waking up is hard to do.

Remember when you slept all right

And let me sleep all through the night

Think of all that I’ve been through

Waking Up Is Hard To Do

They say that waking up is hard to do

Now I know, I know that it’s true

Don’t say that my dreams are at end

Instead of waking up, I wish that I was back asleep again.

I beg of you don’t wail and cry

Can’t I hit snooze another try

Come on baby, give me few

Cause waking up is hard to do
