Wilson, Gretchen - The Bed Lyrics






On his side of the bed, he's sleeping like a baby
Dreams are dancin' in his head lying with his lady
It's a peaceful night, and everything's just fine on his side of the bed
But on her side of the bed, those big brown eyes are cryin' from the things he never says
And deep inside she's dying
As she turns to face the wall, there's no love at all
On her side of the bed

[chorus]
If he'd just reach out she'd forget about all the times that he let her down
Oh but in his mind everything's all right when the lights go out

On his side of the bed he never even noticed her negligee of red
The very same one that she wore the night that they were wed
But he never turned his head to her side of the bed

[chorus]

Now on his side of te bed he wakes up and turns to say, "I love you"
But instead all he finds are pages full of words she'd never said
And that's all she left
On her side of the bed

    This song has never hit home so hard before....I just got out of a relationship that this song fits to a "T".....right down to my big brown eyes...sooo hard to hold back the tears 😭

    I couldn't remember the name of the song or artist and had to search by lyrics I somehow remembered from hearing this song as a child. I think we had the album this was from. I used to listen to it as a kid and wonder how such a depressing relationship that lacked so much communication could come about. I don't have to wonder anymore.

  3. L.... T....

    This songs just makes my heart hurt

  4. P.... j....

    I love this song !!!!! I can relate

    A beautiful beautiful song. If more of us men could just early on put aside some of the old cliches like " if women would just be logical and quit being so emotional (feelings) , we could easily solve our problems."
    Women are not men. They operate as Jehovah makes them. All a women is asking for is for her man to see her feelings, any concern she has, as to be recognized by him, and for him to help her feel safe and secure because he lets her know HE CARES HOW SHE FEELS.
    Want her to love you more every day guys? Start doing it.
    No logic, quit trying to be the "I will help with " my better idea" which will guide her with logic.
    Women are fantastic you will find - once you show honestly that you respect their ideas ; and you respond to their feelings as they NEED you to.
    No male superiority BS. We are born with that attitude unfortunately. It can make for a lonely marriage.
    I wonder if Gretchen wrote the lyrics. Have a blessed week.

    I wish my husband could see things how you just described. You hit the nail right on the head with every word you said.

    this song is not just meant for married couples it can relate to anyone. a boyfriend ignoreing his girlfreind, a popular guy ignoreing a regular girl, even someone ignoring the person next to them at school or anywhere for no reason.
