Lyrics
She Lay There
I woke to find out
With a passion
How real world was outside
And so far away
Wiping at the windows
I started remembering
Fear ran through my heart
That?s when the phone rang
One more time
I?d like to drive her home
One more time
Your legs begin to give in
Out of a thousand times
This was the one
She lay there
So quiet
And takes another breath
Seventy years of her life
In the air
The kindness in her eyes
The strength to smile
One more time
I?d like to drive her home
One more time
Your legs begin to give in
Out of a thousand times
Out of a thousand times
He woke to find out
With a passion
One more time
I say
One more time
I say
