I awake from troubled sleep in the middle of the night
Reaching for the soft hand that once held mine so tight
My fingers touch the pillow where once you laid your head
And I run my hands on the cold, cold sheets on your side of the bed
My head spins from the perfume that lingers everyplace
That kiss, that taste of lipstick left on your pillowcase
And here in this nightmare of darkness I remember the day we were wed
And I clutch and I stare at the tear stained sheets on my side of the bed
My arms aint beholdin you, my lips hunger for your kiss
And I just stand to go through another lonely night like this
This hands that once caressed you just took a bottle from the draw
It says take one for sleeping but Im taking many more
What good is there in living when the dreams we shared are dead
And now at last I lay me down to sleep on my side of the bed
