Lazy Monday Morning - Bernhoft

I know there were a hundred ways to tell her I loved her It's funny how they're all so clear today And when her face was burning with sadness and yearning I don't know why I turned my eyes away But it's so easy looking at the game the morning after Adding up the kisses and the laughter Knowing how you'd play it if the chance to play it over ever came But then, a Monday morning quarterback never lost a game The room was so alive with all her feelings and longings I saw the spark of danger in her eyes Well, how would it have hurt me if I'd turned back and held her? A moment passes, something lovely dies But it's so easy looking at the game the morning after Adding up the kisses and the laughter Knowing how you'd play it if the chance to play it over ever came But then, a Monday morning quarterback never lost a game Yes, it's easier to win it when you know you'd never play it quite the same But then, this Monday morning quarterback never lost a game

I was lying on my bed Feelin' like I was nearly dead Got my soul on fire Mama you can't mean it I was bleeding from my pride I was bleeding from my eyes Got my soul on ice Mama you can cream it Early morning rise Got my guts in my eyes Got my soul on fire All right
