In the middle of the night
Reaching for the soft hand
That once held mine so tight
My fingers touch the pillow
Where you once layed your head
And I run my hand down
The cold cold sheets
On your side of the bed
My head spins from
The perfume
That lingers every place
And I kiss the trace
Of lipstick
Left on your pillow case
And here in this nightmare
Of darkness
I remember the day we wed
And I clutch and tear
At the tear stained sheets
On my side of the bed
My arms long to hold you
My lips hunger for your kiss
And I just couldn't
Stand to go through
Another lonely night like this
These hands that once
Coressed you
Take a bottle from the drawer
It says take one for sleeping
But I'm taking many more
What good is there
In living if the dreams
We she'd are dead
So now at last
I lay me down to sleep
On you side of the bed
I wake from trouble sleep In the middle of the night Reaching for the soft hand That once held mine so tight My fingers touch the pillow Where you once layed your head And I run my hand down The cold cold sheets On your side of the bed My head spins from The perfume That lingers every place And I kiss the trace Of lipstick Left on your pillow case And here in this nightmare Of darkness I remember the day we wed And I clutch and tear At the tear stained sheets On my side of the bed My arms long to hold you My lips hunger for your kiss And I just couldn't Stand to go through Another lonely night like this These hands that once Coressed you Take a bottle from the drawer It says take one for sleeping But I'm taking many more What good is there In living if the dreams We she'd are dead So now at last I lay me down to sleep On you side of the bed Explain Request ×
