On his side of the bed, he's sleeping 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 te 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
