I awake from troubled sleep in the middle of the night
B A E
Reaching for the soft hand that once held mine so tight
C#m A B E
My fingers touch the pillow where once you laid your head
A D E Riff
And I run my hands on the cold, cold sheets on your side of the bed
E B A E
My head spins from the perfume that lingers everyplace
B A E
That kiss, that taste of lipstick left on your pillowcase
C#m A B E
And here in this nightmare of darkness I remember the day we were wed
A D E E7
And I clutch and I stare at the tear stained sheets on my side of the bed
A D A
My arms ain�t beholdin� you, my lips hunger for your kiss
D B E Riff
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 I�m 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
