I’ve got to go now,
and find a life, if only for the kids,
And leave you here,
to lie alone
Until that time I
wish were now
When I can lie down
again with you
The day is sunny, the
flowers fresh cut,
How can I leave you
here?
The girls will hurt
so very much, but they are strong like you
Life will push them
forward, they’ll be OK,
But how can I leave
you here?
Let’s lie down, let’s
lie down again together.
Through crazy times I
always knew,
The one safe place so
warm and sweet,
To lie down again
with you.
I know one day I will return,
To be with you again,
But now they say I
have to go
And put each sad foot
forward,
I’ll try to eat, and
sleep, and make you proud,
as you watch us in
your dreams,
You know my real
reward will be the time
When I come back,
To lie down again
with you.
All those years in
life together,
We worked to get
ahead,
We raised our girls
we love so much, and taught them how to live
My real reward was
coming home each night,
To lie down again
with you.
So I’ll go on now and
fake a life,
I’ll smile and laugh
and cry,
That’s all stuff I
need to do,
Until it’s time for
me to rest,
And lie down again
with you
Let’s lie down, let’s
lie down again together.
Through crazy times I
always knew,
The one safe place so
warm and sweet,
To lie down again
with you.
