REST OF THE WAY, THE
(Deborah Allen / Sparky Lawrence)


Stella Parton - 1979
Deborah Allen - 1980


We still share the bed where our love used to be
Now it's just two bodies, one needs to be set free
You put your arms around me, you think I expect you to
I can feel you touchin' me, but it's not really you

It's just my life you're wasting playing your charade
Acting like you love me when your heart is so far away
Don't do me any favours, you don't have to stay
Just go on and leave me the rest of the way

I see you looking through me like you're staring at the wall
You pretend to listen but you don't hear at all
Your sweet words were like poetry, I loved every verse
Now they've lost their meaning 'cause they sound too well rehearsed

It's just my life you're wasting playing your charade
Acting like you love me when your heart is so far away
Don't do me any favuors, you don't have to stay
Just go on and leave me the rest of the way

(Instrumental Break)

Just go on and leave me the rest of the way
