Paul Albert Anka OC (born July 30, 1941) is a Canadian-American singer, songwriter, and actor. Anka became famous during the late 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s with hit songs like "Diana", "Lonely Boy", "Put Your Head on My Shoulder", and "(You're) Having My Baby". He wrote such well-known music as the theme for The Tonight Show Starring Johnny Carson and one of Tom Jones's biggest hits, "She's a Lady", as well as the English lyrics on Claude François and Jacques Revaux's music, for Frank Sinatra's signature song, "My Way", which has been covered by many including Elvis Presley. He was inducted into Canada's Walk of Fame in 2005.

In 1983, he co-wrote the song "I Never Heard" with Michael Jackson. It was retitled and released in 2009 under the name "This Is It". An additional song that Jackson co-wrote with Anka from this 1983 session, "Love Never Felt So Good", was since discovered and was released on Jackson's posthumous album Xscape in 2014. The song was also released by Johnny Mathis in 1984.

Anka became a naturalized US citizen in 1990.

I don't like to sleep alone

Stay with me, don't go

Talk with me for just a while

So much of you to get to know

Reaching out touching you

Leaving all the worries far behind

Loving you the way I do

My mouth on yours and yours on mine

Marry me, let me live with you

Nothing's wrong and love is right

Like a man said in his song

"Help me make it through the night"

Loneliness can get you down

When you get to thinkin' no one cares

Lead on me

(And I'll lead on you)

Together we will see it through

No, I don't like to sleep alone

It's sad to think some folks do

No, I don't like to sleep alone

No one does

Do you

(I don't like to sleep alone)

No one does

Do you.
