Irving Berlin
Count Your Blessings (Instead of Sheep)
[Chorus]
When I'm worried and I can't sleep
I count my blessings instead of sheep
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
[Verse 1]
When my bankroll is getting small
I think of when I had none at all
And I fall asleep counting my blessings
[Bridge]
I think about a nursery and I picture curly heads
And one by one I count them as they slumber in their beds
[Chorus]
If you're worried and you can't sleep
Just count your blessings instead of sheep
And you'll fall asleep counting your blessings
[Post-Chorus]
And you'll fall asleep
I'll fall asleep counting my blessings
[Verse 2]
I thank the Lord for good health
For the gift of love He sends
But most of all He's blessed me
With my family and friends
[Chorus]
When you feel that you're down and out
Just count your blessings, I have no doubt
You'll soon be on your feet, counting your blessings
