FAR SIDE OF THE BED
(Susie McCoy)


Lorrie Morgan - 1988





All the feelin' lived and died in the miles that lay between us
And "I love you" doesn't mean much from the far side of the bed
Now there's time for lookin' back and choosin' memories for keepin'
And I cry as you lay sleepin' on the far side of the bed

There was once a raging love on the far side of the bed
Where just touching was enough to ease the pain inside my head
Now I can't turn back time and I cannot raise the dead
And love is just a favourite mem'ry on the far side of the bed

At the close of every day there's another day I've missed you
And an empty goodnight whisper from the far side of the bed
With all my mem'ries packed away, like a suitcase I'll be taken
I'll be gone when you awaken on the far side of the bed

There was once a raging love on the far side of the bed
Where just touching was enough to ease the pain inside my head
Now I can't turn back time and I cannot raise the dead
And love is just a favourite mem'ry on the far side of the bed
