Rose Cousins
Soon I Was Sleeping
[Verse 1: Robby Hecht]
I spent half the night thinking about her
Dressed up in that old wedding gown
So I took a few sips from the bottle
Just to settle my memory down
Then I noticed that phone on the nightstand
Out the corner of my teary eye
And I knew that I could be a better man, Lord
If she’d just say she loved me tonight

So I called her up tipsy
She said she doesn’t miss me
And I was thinking I’d rather be dead
Put that bottle of whiskey
Right where she used to kiss me
And soon I was sleeping instead

[Verse 2: Rose Cousins]
Oh, I remember the way that you held me
When you’d say it was love at first sight
You’d come home brimming with roses
And you’d take me out dancing all night
But when you lost your heart to that bottle
I lost the man you used to be
And now it’s always the same
When you’re feeling ashamed
You come crying to me

So you call me up tipsy
Saying, girl, don’t you miss me
'Cause you’re thinking you’d rather be dead
So put that bottle of whiskey
Right where you used to kiss me
And soon you’ll be sleeping instead

[Robby Hecht]
So I called her up tipsy

And soon you’ll be sleeping instead
