Sleep Warm
Words & Music by Rod McKuen
I sleep safely, I sleep soundly
knowing you sleep warm
even if you’re rolling in
somebody else’s arms.
I sleep easy, I sleep gently
knowing you sleep warm
even when I’ve lost you to
the darkness and the dawn.
That last full moon
was more than I could take
I willed myself asleep
I cried myself awake.
Still, I sleep easy, I sleep safely
knowing you sleep warm
every night I still pretend
you’re locked up in my arms.
And the Wizard of Oz
is a wizard because
he’s only a man like me.
Still if he keeps you warm enough
he’s more of a man than me.
