Band : New Colony Six
Song : I Lie Awake
From _Blitz_ #23, 11/77:
Mike McDowell: I hope you know what I'm referring to, but would you
consider George Gershwin a major influence?
Ray Graffia: You mean the fact that we stole 'Rhapsody In Blue'?
MM: Exactly! Of course I'm thinking of the 'I Lie Awake' single.
RG: We sang 'Rhapsody In Blue' in the high school chorus, and we
liked it enough to transform it into one of our own songs.
"I Lie Awake"

I lie awake in love this time
No broken heart, no troubled mind
No mournful soul, I'm treated fine 'cause now
I've got my love back

You and I-i
The stars, the sun, and the moon will shine

Just we two-oo
I didn't know what they all knew
I was fooled
Couldn't believe what you were doin'
I was true
You know I wish that you were too
