Why I stopped sleeping with the radio on.

Song #58



I used to go to bed
With the radio on
To sing myself to sleep
And boogie in my dreams
With the band.

I quit doing it
When they started playing
“Nights in White Satin” at
Four in the morning
Because the ending
Always gave me nightmares,
The worst of which came
When I awoke…

Alone.

(((awww, Robert)))

This one hits between the eyes. I thought you were going to say you stopped doing it because you'd bounce your wife out of bed with your boogie-ing! LOL Oooooooooops.....LOL Still and all, a bittersweet, poignant write; well done. No wonder I love you: your words always touch my heart and embrace me in thought. Well done.

((((((HUGS)))))) and love, and *kotc, kotc, kotl*, Karla. :)

This poem says volumes, Robert. Very well done -- most of us can and do relate to the emotions here. An excellent write -- always a pleasure, my friend.
Love,
CJ

I love Moody Blues and, yes, Nights in White Satin, and I can completely relate to having the radio on to fall asleep to music. Well done.

Robert,

I used to do this; still do sometimse; it relaxes me. I just find a good old classic country station and fall asleep to the strains of Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams, Lefty Frizzell, and Dolly, and I am a happy camper when I go to sleep! :) Very well done poem, Robert; bravo!

(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in Tx., Karen Lynn. :D *KOTC*
