On his side of the bed

he's sleepin' like a baby

dreams are dancin'

in his head

Lyin' 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 dyin'

As she turns

to face the wall

there's no love at all

on her side of the bed

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

Now 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

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

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
