Frank Sinatra - In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning Lyrics

Frank Sinatra Lyrics

"In The Wee Small Hours Of The Morning"

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.

[Musical interlude]

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.

This song is the title track from one of the first concept albums in music history.

Charles Pignone, Senior Vice President of Frank Sinatra Enterprises, explained Frank Sinatra's thought of concept albums in a songfacts.com interview, "He had envisioned that instead of people just making singles, to do a whole album thematically so it would hold people's attention."

Carly Simon made a cover version of this song which was used on the soundtrack to "Sleepless in Seattle" (1993).
