how do you sleep the long night through
as ill winds navigate the lonely twilit skies?
how do you wake glowing as you do
in spite of the sleep that drips from your eyes?
it's true there's a chill in the morning
with a frost that blankets the earth
but still you slumber without hesitation or warning
so that each time you wake is like a new birth
how do you lay your head to rest
while others lie tormented and ill at ease?
the world wakes groggy but you're at your best
and we muddle through life while you do as you please
how do you sleep, so tender and sweet?
with you i'd lie peaceful and slumber complete
