The Sleep Position
The left side of the bed is mine
So when I sit down on the bed
My pillow is on my right side
And that where I lay down my head
It’s always the same old routine
Start on my right side every night
But that’s not my sleep position
So I toss and turn till its right
On my stomach I only doze
And it’s hard to breathe on my back
Lots of nights I fight the covers
When I turn over in the sack
My left side’s my sleep position
Where I sleep for most of the night
Seems I should switch sides of the bed
I’ve tried, but it doesn’t feel right
Getting onto my left side quick
Doesn’t buy me anymore sleep
I first must do the “toss and turn”
And then I can quit counting sheep
