Old School Jam of the Day - Shirley Murdock - "As We Lay" Does anybody love this song as much as I do? This is an 80's jam that I recently downloaded and have been listening to a lot. Shirley Murdock was discovered by the late Roger Troutman and Zapp, and she has an amazing singing voice! Here are the lyrics to refresh your memory:
As We Lay - Shirley Murdock 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) (mmm) (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 whoa~~~ It's morning (it's morning) (oo oo) It's morning (it's morning) (whoa~~) It's morning (whoa~~) I freaking love this song! I remember when it first came out, it got played a lot on local radio, yet I never got tired of it. It's just one of those songs I can listen to over and over again. RIP, mom. I will forever miss and love you. | |

YES! I do recall "As We Lay"... I also remember hearing a radio interview with Shirley in which she recounted the details of the recording.. From what I recall the vocals were taped late at night in her living room by her boy friend / producer.. Right before the two of them got too "romantic" for recording.. This living room recording was only to be the demo, but when in the actual studio they felt they couldn't capture the same Vocal quality.. I love the feeling I get off this track!
