Gretchen Wilson - The Bed lyrics

rate me

On his side of the bed, he's sleepin' like a baby

Dreams are dancin' in his head

Lying with his lady

It's a peaceful night, and everything's just fine

On his side of the bed

But on her side of the bed, those big brown eyes are cryin'

From the things he never says

And deep inside she's dying

As she turns to face the wall, there's no love at all

On her side of the bed

(Chorus)

If he'd just reach out she'd forget about

All the times that he let her down

Oh but in his mind everything's all right

When the lights go out

On his side of the bed

He never even noticed her negligee of red

The very same one that she wore the night

That they were wed

But he never turned his head

To her side of the bed

(Chorus)

Now on his side of the bed

He wakes up and turns to say, "I love you" but instead

All he finds are pages full of words she'd never said

And that's all she left

On her side of the bed
