It sure gets quiet when the kids go to bed
We sit here in the silence
Putting of what must be said
I read a book you watch TV
As our love dies quietly
I'm so sad I don't know what I just read
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hoping some how we might need each other again
You say good night and turn and face the wall
We lay here in the darkness
And the tears start to fall
If it was only you and me
Good-bye might come more easily
What about those babies down the hall
Somebody should leave
But which one should it be
You need the kids
And they need me
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We keep hoping some how we might need each other again
Somebody should leave
But we hate to give in
We just keep hoping we might need each other again
