Roger Troutman
As We Lay
Baby, baby, baby

Spoken:

Sometimes, an innocent moment can cause pain to someone that you really love
I found myself in a situation where the only enemy I had was time
You know, I really meant for things to go one way
But, as they turned out, morning was upon me
And a thing of innocence and beauty turned into heartache and pain

Verse 1:

It's morning, and we slept the night away
It happened. Now we can't turn back the hands of time
No, no, baby
Yes, we've stolen this moment
But we forgot to face one simple fact
We both belong to someone else
As we slept the night away

Verse 2:

It's morning, sunlight shines through the windowpane, aw baby
You're beautiful as the sun shines across your sleeping face, oh baby
What a lovely night we had, yeah
As we shared each other's love
But we forgot about all the pain we caused
As we slept the night away
Chorus:

As we lay
We forgot about tomorrow as we lay
As we lay
We forgot about tomorrow, as we lay
Oh, baby

Verse 3:

It's morning, and now it's time for us to say goodbye
Goodbye, babe
You're leaving, honey, and I must hurry home to face my wife, oh baby
I don't ever want to hurt her
And she would never understand
That I belonged to you for just one night, as we slept the night away

Chorus

Instrumental

Verse 4:

Oh, I don't ever want to hurt her, no, baby
And she would never understand
That I belonged to you for just one night, as we slept the night away
As we lay
We forgot about tomorrow as we lay
As we lay
And I know our love won't ever fade away, oh baby
It's morning
It's morning
It's morning
