1. It sure gets quiet when the
kids go to bed,
G F G
we
sit here in the silence putting off what must be said.
C C7 - F Em Dm
I read a book,
you watch T.V as our love dies
quietly.
F G C
I'm so sad I don't know what
I've just read.
F C - F C
Somebody should leave, but
which one should it be ?
Am Dm - G
You need the kids and they
need me.
C - C7 F
Somebody should leave, but
we hate to give in,
G

we keep hoping somehow we might
need each other again.

and face the wall,
G F

we
lie here in the darkness and the tears start to fall.

If it was only you and me goodbye might come more easily,
F G C
but
what about those babies down the hall.
