I CAN'T FACE THE BED ALONE Lyrics

Miscellaneous
I CAN'T FACE THE BED ALONE
A cup of instant coffee ain't grits with eggs and bacon,
But it'll do
And I'll have to wear my jacket at the office,
"Cause that iron doesn't work for me quite like it did for you.

But the one thing that I can't accept that haunts my soul
And chills me to the bone
Is the fact that the night in comin' and I'm gonna
Have to face that bed alone.

'Cause that's where we'd lay awake for hours wanderin'
What the future had in store
A thousand dreams were born there
But now they're dead and gone forevermore
And that's where she introduced me to the finest lovin'
[ HENSON CARGILL Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]
That I have ever known
So is it any wonder that I just can't seem to face that bed alone.

A glass of beer at Joe's place ain't steak
With wine and candles
But it'll do
And I tried my hand at cookin'
But the kitchen stove and them pots and pans don't work for me
Quite like they did for you
And the alcohol won't drown the fear I have of just gettin' up
And goin' home
Or the fact that the night is comin'
And I'm gonna have to face the bed alone.
