Sleepin’ Alone Lyrics - John Denver

This song was first released on the Some Days Are Diamonds Album. It is the only album it appears on. 

For someone who's got everything, life can still be rough 

If things are what you're lookin' for, there's never quite enough 

And all the tea in China won't make a house a home 

You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone 

There might be some one night stands to ease the pain inside 

Or someone you can call around if you've lost all your pride 

Please don't be mistaken. I don't mean to put that down 

I know there's times when anything is better than sleepin' alone

Sleepin' alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend 

Sleepin' alone can make you swear to God this night will never end 

You know it's not company you are lookin' for 

You know it's not just pleasure, you know it's somethin' more 

You know it's not the answer if it's not like comin' home 

If the one who's there doesn't really care, it's worse than sleepin' alone 

Sleepin' alone can make a bottle just about your dearest friend 

Sleepin' alone can make you swear to God this night will never end

For someone who's got everything, life can still be rough 

If things are what you're lookin' for, there's never quite enough 

And all the gold that glitters won't make a house a home 

You can be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone 

You might be a millionaire and still be sleepin' alone
