Keep Me Warm - Ron Pope

Central Park, right after dark

We are laughing, holding hands there in the grass

The summer sun, has just begun

To sing a lullabye to us, and it feels so good

You and me, we’ve got everything we need

I’m not seeking shelter from no God-forsaken storm

Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm

Freckles on your arms, I pretend they’re stars

And find new constellations right beneath my hands

I don’t know, where the next six months will go

But I’m sure sunrise tomorrow will be better than the one before

You and me, we’ve got everything we need

I’m not seeking shelter from no God-forsaken storm

Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm

Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm

I count my footsteps and the avenues as I get close to you;

yes, I do

I can’t ever seem to say quite what I really mean…

You’re beautiful and I’m not easy to please

So I will take the D train down from Harlem when you need me

You’re beautiful and I’m not easy to please

So I will take the D train down from Harlem when you need me

I’m not seeking shelter from no God-forsaken storm

Just lay with me tonight and keep me warm

Lay with me tonight and keep me warm

Won’t you lay with me tonight and keep me warm?
