Instead of dreaming I Sleepwalk Cause I lost you And now what am I to do What to do. Can't believe that we're through I don't care how much you tell me
Sleeptalk Cause I miss you While the memory of you Lingers like a song Darling, I was so wrong But I'll be right some day
The night fills my lonely place I see your face I know, I miss you so I still love you And it drives me insane
Sleepwalk Every night I just Sleepwalk And when you walk inside the door I will Sleepwalk no more
Sleepwalk Every night I just Sleepwalk And when you walk inside the door I will Sleepwalk no more
I will Sleepwalk no more
I will Sleepwalk no more
Its written by two brothers, Johnny and Santo, they wrote lyrics to the song but never recorded them. Its a bout Santos love for a girl who was killed in boating accident at a tender age, he dreamt of this girl after her death only to wake up and losing her from his dream when waking. He told his brother about this and his brother watched him as he sleep for 1 whole month, in this month he "santo" would be sleeping and between the hours of 2 am and 3 am sleep walk to the back side door and wait for 3 mins and then go back to bed lay down then wake and have no idea he had just slept walked to the door. This was the door he's girl would sneak in and lay with him up until his death. The reason they did not record the lyrics was because Santo wanted only her ears to hear them from his voice, you can read the lyrics but he says he will sing them to her when he meets her at the door again. The music is the music that he says evokes the spirit of the death in us.

Junior high dance, November 1969, a lovely girl asked me to dance with her as this song commenced. To this day I don't know how I kept my composure when every part of me was vibrating like a tuning fork. I remember the smell of her Heaven Scent perfume, the light creating fine shadows on her perfect complexion and the streamers hung in the cafeteria for the occasion swaying gently as we danced. I got picked up from the dance by my father and the scene from To Kill a Mockingbird with Gregory Peck where Atticus Finch shoots a rabid dog was showing on The Saturday Night Movie when we arrived home; it must have been 10 PM or so.

Having lived in Hawaii I thought this sounded like an island tune. It seemed strange that an Italian family from Brooklyn, NY would somehow create a polynesian-sounding song.
Turns out they were taught steel slide guitar playing by someone from the islands. This is from the wiki page:
"Within two years, Santo was performing in amateur shows using a new Gibson six-string steel guitar and had started receiving lessons from a steel guitar teacher who had studied in Hawaii."
@DougieFresh
Greg Chase that’s pretty sweet if true! Thanks for the info! Cheers
@Greg_Chase
@@DougieFresh If you grew up in the islands you would have been shocked to find out it was not a local song - that's how accurate the style is. Santo was taught by an authentic player and had very good, careful attention to the style. He reproduced it exactly.
When you compare the tune to traditional Italian music - which is very distinctive and a style all its own - Santo's "Sleep Walk" did not incorporate any aspect of traditional Italian music styles. It was as if he grew up in the islands, playing polynesian music - that's how good he interpreted it.

The night before I joined the Air Force, I stayed up most of the night and early morning playing my 45 RPM record collection. "Sleepwalk" was the last record on the last stack. When it completed, ,I lifted the arm that holds the records above the spindle and let the song play over and over again. I probably played it twenty times, while reflecting on the past and what might be in my future. After completing basic training in Texas, they put a bunch of us on a bus heading for tech school in Mississippi. When we got to Beaumont, we pulled into a diner for lunch. As I walked into the place I heard "Sleep Walk" playing on the jukebox. It made me instantly home sick and I returned to the bus, miserable and waited for the others to finish eating and continuing our journey to Mississippi. That was 59 years ago. Still think about that day every time I hear the song.

And the feeling that even though the previous statement is true, it’s all going to be alright.

I remember before you could get those big round rollers in the south we would save the roll in the toilet paper and cut it in half until we had enough for our hair and used Bobby pins to secure them when we rolled our hair on them. We knew all the regulars by name and of course getting the yearbook was a must. I still have mine and the dance contest winners are in it.

Its written by two brothers, Johnny and Santo, they wrote lyrics to the song but never recorded them. Its a bout Santos love for a girl who was killed in boating accident at a tender age, he dreamt of this girl after her death only to wake up and losing her from his dream when waking. He told his brother about this and his brother watched him as he sleep for 1 whole month, in this month he "santo" would be sleeping and between the hours of 2 am and 3 am sleep walk to the back side door and wait for 3 mins and then go back to bed lay down then wake and have no idea he had just slept walked to the door. This was the door he's girl would sneak in and lay with him up until his death. The reason they did not record the lyrics was because Santo wanted only her ears to hear them from his voice, you can read the lyrics but he says he will sing them to her when he meets her at the door again. The music is the music that he says evokes the spirit of the death in us.
Wait no. I lookedit up and i cant find nothing on the internet about this story. It does say though that the brothers couldn't sleep after a gig so they starting jamming and came up with this song. Nothing about a dead girl
@bobcampbell7596
I remember when this song was released the myth was that it was an ode to Santo's (plays steel guitar) girlfriend who died in an accident. In it he sleepwalks endlessly in search of his dead lover. This myth got traction probably because people wanted to believe it. And, the haunting melody and funereal tone made believing it easy. Santo did not have a girlfriend who died. Moreover, the lyrics, which were never recorded, tells about a guy having a hard time dealing with being dumped by his girlfriend. Maybe S&J realizing that in 1959 songs like that were a dime a dozen intentionally didn't record the lyrics to fuel the dead girl myth and enhance popularity. Well it worked. The the song instantly became a wildly popular romantic love song. Young couples everywhere were slow dancing cheek to cheek to it every time it was played for as Dean Martin famously sang 5 years latter "Everybody loves somebody sometime"

Junior high dance, November 1969, a lovely girl asked me to dance with her as this song commenced. To this day I don't know how I kept my composure when every part of me was vibrating like a tuning fork. I remember the smell of her Heaven Scent perfume, the light creating fine shadows on her perfect complexion and the streamers hung in the cafeteria for the occasion swaying gently as we danced. I got picked up from the dance by my father and the scene from To Kill a Mockingbird with Gregory Peck where Atticus Finch shoots a rabid dog was showing on The Saturday Night Movie when we arrived home; it must have been 10 PM or so.
