The Woman In My Bed

(album: Everything I've Always Wanted - 1981)

I wake up in the morning, and the birds are singing love songs in the distance
And the first ray of sunshine, overcomes my window panes resistance
As I lay there for a minute, til that sleep slowly clear from my head
I thank the Lord for birds that sing, sunshine that the morning brings
And I thank Him for the woman in my bed

I put my feet out on the floor, and I reach back to cover up her shoulders
Smiling and remembering how her body warmed me as the night grew colder
I'd like to wake her with a kiss, but she needs the morning sleep instead
I thank the Lord for birds that sing, sunshine that the morning brings
And I thank Him for the woman in my bed

The woman in my bed is everything I ever wanted her to be
She's the answer to my prayers, and I know she'll be there, anytime I have that old special need
Sometimes the daily grind, puts some wrinkles in my mind, she knows how to straighten out my head
I'm thankful for the way it feels, to have a love so strong and real
And I'm thankful for the woman in my bed

I put my feet out on the floor, and I reach back to cover up her shoulders
Smiling and remembering how her body warmed me as the night grew colder
I'd like to wake her with a kiss, but she needs the morning sleep instead
I thank the Lord for birds that sing, sunshine that the morning brings
And I thank Him for the woman in my bed
I thank the Lord for birds that sing, sunshine that the morning brings
Thank Him for the woman in my bed
