As We Lay - Shirley Murdock

Whoa, it’s morning

And we slept the night away

It happened

Now we can’t turn back the hands of time, no, no

Yes we’ve stolen this moment

We forgot to face one simple fact

We both belong to someone else

As we slept the night away

It’s morning

Sunlight shines across your sleeping face, oh

A new day

Brings reality and we must go our separate ways

What a lovely night we had yeah, yeah

As we shared each other’s love

We forgot about all the pain we caused

As we slept the night away

As we lay

We forgot about tomorrow

As we lay

Ooh hey, hey

As we lay

Didn’t think about

The price we’d have to pay

No, no, no

It’s morning

And now it’s time for us to say goodbye

Goodbye baby

You’re leaving me

I know you’ve got to hurry home to face your wife, wife

I would never want to hurt her, no, no, no

She would never understand

You belong to me for just one night

As we slept the night away

Ooh oh, whoa

I would never, never want to hurt her, no, no, no

She would never understand

You belong to me for just one night

As we slept the night away

As we lay

We forgot about tomorrow

As we lay

Ooh no, no hey, hey

As we lay

Didn’t think about

The price we’d have to pay

No, no, no

We should have counted up the cost

But instead we got lost

In the second, in the minute

In the hour, hey, hey, hey

As we lay

We forgot about tomorrow

As we lay

Oh no, oh no, no

My love why can’t you see

How loving you is killing me baby, baby

I can’t think of no one else

Baby, baby I can’t take it no more

You see I can’t be in your life

You gotta go home to you wife

Oh it’s morning
