I didn’t wake up this morning I woke around four Still wearing my clothes On the bathroom floor, Last night she left me Gave me no warning She loves another guy, and I Didn’t wake up this morning. No I didn’t wake up this morning I was in dream land Still laughing with her Still touching her hand, But her words were real The truth is dawning She loves another guy, and I Didn’t wake up this morning. bridge They say there’s light at the end of a tunnel But there’s no end to this tunnel I’m in Just the echo of her voice Apologising. So I didn’t wake up this morning And I’ve lost my phone Can’t say where I was Or how I got home, But drowning sorrow Doesn’t change a thing She loves another guy, and I Didn’t wake up this morning. please vist http://www.soundclick.com/bands/pagemusic.cfm?bandID=429802 to hear my lyrics recorded by musicians world wide

The lyrics are good, but perhaps they could tie into the title a bit more. most of them still fit the 'I woke up this morning' pattern. its like the title is promising something unusual but delivering the same old theme. could the singer maybe be so depressed he cant get out of bed? keeps going back to sleep rather than face the reality?

I unintentionally woke up somewhere around 4:30 or 5:00, putzed around for a while and even read a bit, then lied back down around 6:30 or so and slipped into a dream and woke for the day somewhere around 8:30. As far as the like "when I woke up this morning", the following is perhaps the best known song using that phrase. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tBKlYAtFxYM

Just Plain Quotes

"Parents are notorious for telling you not to do something, but not telling you WHAT to do instead. So here are my thoughts. Don't bite the hand that feeds you, give it a manicure. Don't burn your bridges, go out and build more! And of course, Don't run with Scissors, use them to cut out your press clippings!" -Brian Austin Whitney
