Nightingale

Oh, the world is still

It's quiet as a mouse, it's 3 AM

Wide awake, I'm trying to get the words out of my mouth

But I can't make a sound since you left me lying here in my bed

While you're running off with him

And everything in my world was yours

When I held you tenderly

Oh, I was once in his shoes

I had everything to lose and so I did

It wasn't long ago when I could feel the breeze of you blowing on my skin

I could feel your touch as your arms were closing in

If I could muster a sound, I'd sing this song out loud just like a nightingale

Whoa, whoa, no

I was driving fast with roses on my seat and headed home

I was late with dinner getting cold

When I was struck in the side of the car

And then I saw your face

I couldn't move, I couldn't say a word to you

And everything in my world was yours

When I held you tenderly

Oh, now my world is caving in 'cause you're sleeping next to him

If I could die

You bet your life I would

'Cause I can't feel the breeze of you blowing on my skin

Oh, I can't feel your touch as your arms are closing in

If I could muster a sound, I'd sing this song out loud just like the nightingale

The nightingale, oh

And if the tables had been turned

I could never go without you by my side

But I'm reminded everyday how I can't feel the breeze of you blowing on my skin

Oh, I can't feel your touch as your arms are closing in

If I could muster a sound, I'd sing this song out loud just like the nightingale

A nightingale

I can't feel the breeze of you blowing on my skin

Oh, I can't feel your touch as your arms are closing in

If I could muster a sound, I'd sing this song out loud just like the nightingale

The nightingale
