Lyrics

It's morning

And we slept the night away

It happened

Now we can't turn back

The hands of time

Yes, we've stolen this moment

We forgot to face one simple fact

We both belong to someone else

As we slept the night away

It's morning

Sunlight shines across your sleeping face

A new day brings reality that

We must go our separate ways

What a lovely night we had (Yeah, yeah)

As we shared each other's love

We forgot about all the pain we'd cause

As we slept the night away

As we lay

We forgot about tomorrow

As we lay (Mhm, hey hey)

As we lay

We didn't think about the price we'd have to pay

(Oh no, no no no, no no no, no)

It's morning

And now it's time for us to say goodbye

Goodbye, baby

You're leaving me

I know you got to hurry home to face your wife (Whoa-oh-oh)

I would never want to hurt her, no

She would never understand

You belonged to me for just one night

As we slept the night away

I would never, never want to hurt her, no no

She'd never understand

You belonged to me for just one night

As we slept the night away

As we lay

We forgot about tomorrow

As we lay (Mhm, oh oh)

As we lay

We didn't think about the price we'd have to pay

(Oh no, hey)

We should have counted up the cost

But instead we got lost

In the second

In the minute

In the hour

Hey hey, hey, as we lay

We forgot about tomorrow

As we lay

It's morning

(It's morning)

It's morning

(It's morning, ooh ooh)

It's morning

It's morning

It's morning
