WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING
YOU LOOKED SO PEACEFUL
I QUIETLY KISSED YOUR CHEEK
YOUR STEADY BREATHING
SAID YOU WERE DREAMING
SO I TIPTOED OUT THE DOOR
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING
(CHORUS)
I BACKED UP THE U-HAUL
COULDN’T QUITE GET IT ALL
JUST THE DISHES AND THE KIDS
AND THEYMONEY THAT YOU HID
THAT YOU THOUGHTT I’D NEVER FIND
QUITE AS A CHURCH MOUSE
‘TIL I SLAMMED THE DOOR ON OUR HOUSE
TO LET YOU KNOW THAT I WAS LEAVING
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING I WAS NEEDING
YOU TO JUST WAKE UP
AND BE A MAN
BUT YOUR LYING, DRINKING, CHEATING, BREAKIGN MY HEART WAYS
WAS MORE THAN I COULD STAND
BUT COULD I STAND ALONE
THERE’S ONLY ONE WAY TO KNOW
(REPEAT CHORUS)
WHILE YOU WERE SLEEPING I WAS DRIVING
FURTHER THAN I’D EVER GONE BEFORE
AND THOSE BABIES IN THE BACK SEAT
REMINDING ME
OF WHAT I’M DRIVING FOR
I WISH I COULD ‘VE STAYED
BUT YOU WOULDN’T CHANGE
(REPEAT CHORUS)
