As We Lay Songtext
von Shirley Murdock

Ooh, oh-oh-oh

Morning, and we slept the night away
It happened, now we can′t turn back the hands of time
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 (uh-uh)
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'd cause
As we slept the night away

As we lay (ooh, ooh, ooh)
We forgot about tomorrow
As we lay, hmm-mm, hey, hey (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
As we lay, whoa-oh (ooh, ooh, ooh)
We didn′t think about the price we′d have to pay
Oh no, no, no, no, no, no (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)


It's morning, and now it′s time for us to say goodbye
Goodbye, baby, you're leaving me
I know you got to hurry home to face your wife (whoa-oh)
I would never, never want to hurt her, no
She would never understand
You belonged to me for just one night
As we slept the night away

Whoa, ooh-ooh
Hmm-mm
Whoa, ooh-ooh

I would never, never want to hurt her, no, no
She′d never understand
You belonged to me for just one night
As we slept the night away, yeah

As we lay (ooh, ooh, ooh)
We forgot about tomorrow
As we lay, hmm-mm, oh-oh (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
As we lay (ooh, ooh, ooh)
We didn't think about the price we′d have to pay, oh no, hey (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)
We should have counted up the cost (ah, ah, ah)

But instead we got lost
In the second, in the minute, in the hour (ooh, ooh, ooh)
Hey, hey, hey, as we lay (ah, ah, ah)
We forgot about tomorrow
As we lay, oh-oh-oh (ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-ooh)


It's morning (it's morning)
It′s morning (it′s morning, ooh-ooh)
Morning (whoa-ooh, whoa-oh, whoa-oh)
It's morning (morning)
(Whoa-oh)
