As We Lay Lyrics

It's morning,
and we slept the night away~
It happened,
now we can't turn back the hands of time
(oh no)

Yes we've stolen this moment,
We forgot to face, one simple fact
We both belong~ to someone else
As we slept, the night away

It's morning,
sunlight shines across your sleeping face (uh huh)
A new~ day,
brings reality that we must go our
Se~parate way
What a lovely night, we had (yeah yeah)
As we shared each other's love
We forgot about all the pain we'd cause
as we slept the night away

Hook
As we lay
We forgot about tomorrow as we lay (mmhmm, hey hey)
As we lay
We didn't think about the price we'd have to pay(oh no, no no no no no no no)

It's morning
And now it's time for us to say goodbye
Goodbye baby
you're lea~ving me,
I know you got to hurry home to face your wi~fe, whoa
I would never never want to hurt her no
She would never understand
You belonged to me for
just one night
as we slept the night away

(whoa) (mmmmm) (whoa)

I would never never want to hurt her no
She would never understand
You belonged to me for
just one night
as we slept the night away

Hook
As We Lay
We forgot about tomorrow
As we lay
We didn't think about the price we'd have to pay... oh no hey

We should have counted up the cost
but instead we got lost
in the second, in the minute, in the hour
hey hey, hey as we lay
we forgot about tomorrow, as we lay
whoaÜberBot

It's morning (it's morning) (oo oo)
It's morning (it's morning) (whoa~~)
It's morning (whoa~~)

Shirley Murdock (born on May 22, 1957 in Toledo, Ohio) is an American R&B singer, who is best known for her 1986 R&B hit "As We Lay".

Murdock started out singing gospel music in her native Toledo. Singer/musician Roger Troutman hired Murdock as a backing singer for his family's band Zapp, who had several hits on Warner Bros. (or its Reprise Records imprint). Based on this success, Troutman began recording tracks with Murdock and lead singer Sugarfoot of the Ohio Players, among others, at his Dayton-based recording studio, Troutman Sound Labs. Murdock and Troutman's first chart single was a Warner single issued as Roger (featuring Shirley Murdock), "Girl, Cut It Out," which charted at number 79 R&B in early 1985.

Murdock was signed to Elektra Records with "No More," which made it to number 24 R&B in early 1986. Then came her signature hit, "As We Lay," written by Zapp's Larry Troutman and keyboardist Billy Beck (of the Ohio Players). The tender, melancholy ballad made it to the R&B Top Ten and peaked at number 23 pop in 1986. Her LP Shirley Murdock went gold, also helped along by the follow-up hits "Go on Without You" and "Be Free." She also released full-length albums in 1988 (A Woman's Point of View) and 1991 (Let There Be Love). In early 2000, Murdock toured in the inspirational/gospel play, Be Careful What You Pray For with Cuba Gooding and David Peaston.

Murdock released Home, her gospel music debut album, in 2002 on T.D. Jakes' Dexterity Sounds record label. She made her acting debut in the movie Sweating in The Spirit. Most recently, Murdock has signed with Tyscot Records and will release a new album in March 2007.[1]
