in my dreams

i try to smile
knowing that nothing is alright
you use to hold my hand
it would help me understand
making me a better man
now when i close my eyes
you're in my dreams
i try to sleep so that you're mine to keep
please don't fade away
help me from staying awake
until i can bring you home with me
i knew it from the start
my arms are open wide
as you lay your head on my stomach
and were going to stay asleep
so that i can see you tonight
i close my eyes
knowing that everything will be alright
