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 shine across your sleeping face, uh-huh
A new day, brings reality and 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 caused,
As we slept the night away

As we lay, we forgot about to tomorrow as we lay, he-hey
As we lay, didn't think about the price we had to pay

It morning, and now it's time for us to say goodbye,
Goodbye babe
You're leavin' me, I know you got to hurry home to face your,
Wife, wife, I would never never want to hurt her, nah
She would never ever ever under-stand,
You belong to me for just one night, as we slept the night away

As we lay, we forgot about tomorrow as we lay
As we lay, didn't think about the price we had to pay.
