Lying there beside you

Staring at the sky

I hear you breathing softly

You’re sleeping, why can’t I

The music is still playing

My thoughts begin to race

You’re looking oh so peaceful

I reach out to stroke your face

You’ve gone to the land of slumber

How I wish I could join you there

But I just listen to the music

And into the darkness I stare

And The Eagles keep me company

While they sing about lying eyes

I can identify with those lyrics

Much to my own surprise

I wonder- is this my future

I wonder- is this my fate

Will I always love you

Will the answer come too late

There are so many choices

How can I choose just one

By making just one happy

All the others come undone

Questions, questions, questions

The answers feel like a knife

Why can’t it just be a mystery

Like all the other things in life

Can’t you just enjoy the moment

Can’t we just pretend

No, you’ll always want much more

Than I can give you in the end

Now they're telling me to take it easy

And now I realize that I was blind

That 'the sound of your own wheels'

Are the ones within your mind

Should I even feel this way

What happened to my vow

Love once drove those questions from my mind

Why does love betray me now
