-- Sum --

I am the man with a thousand friends
With a laughter-line that never ends
But when my friends have all gone home
I am the man who sleeps alone

I am the man with a thousand songs
Put on earth to right all wrongs
But when all that's to be said's been said
I am the man who's alone in bed

I am the man who writes these words
Which charm from the trees the very birds
But when the birds retire to sleep
It's my own company I keep

I am the man who loves to live
And lives to love that he can give
A hint of joy to those who weep
Then all alone at night... I sleep
