On his side of the bed
He's sleeping like a baby
Dreams are dancing 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
Deep inside she's dyin
As she turns to face the wall
There's no love at all 
On her side of the bed

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 alright
When the lights go out

Now 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

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 alright
When the lights go out

Now on his side of the bed
He wakes up and turns to say I love you
But instead 
All he finds are pages 
Full of words she never said
And that's all she left 
On her side of the bed
