"Separate Beds"

You're lying on the couch half asleep
I'm in the kitchen fixing something to eat
Twenty-five years we've been wed
Now we're sleeping in separate beds

Nights are lonely, long are the days
I'm so sorry it turned out this way
What's done is done, what's said is said
Now we're sleeping in separate beds

Merry Christmas and a happy new year
Not much left keeping us here
The kids are grown, scattered far and wide
January 1 is the day our love died

Take a look around, what do you want to keep
Most of it we borrowed or bought on the cheap
It's so painful when love is dead
And you find yourself sleeping in separate beds

Call me sometime from your new address
We'll always be friends, I wish you nothing but the best
A hungry heart can't be fed
Not when you're sleeping in separate beds

Nights are lonely, long are the days
