Don't Let Me Wake Up!

I don’t want to be awake in the silence of this emptiness

So many things were said, some left unsaid, now lost and gone

Slipping through my fingers, you fade away, my dreams along

Don’t let me believe I can hold on

God, please don’t let me

Don't let me open my eyes to grief dead memories

Of when he kissed me, touched me, held me, please don’t wake me!

I wish I could erase the things we said, turn around and walk away

Rest is my peace when I have nothing else to walk for

No love, no words, seems like there’s just nothing else

Long day it feels like, until I fall asleep

As I lay there and give in, as I forget, I can forgive

Don't let me wake up and gain remembrance

I want eternal sleep, grant me some quiet darkness

Where I can dream of something else, whatever else would do

Let it be nightmares, dreams, it could be dull

Let me sleep away the feelings of regret

Give my eyes some peace, if I sleep my cry might end

And if I wake up, let me find another reason

Wake me up to a new day, a new sunshine, a new season

The love we had was out of this world rare!

I realize perhaps it wasn’t mean to last

If my feast of blessings has come due to be paid

Let me pay it quick, and then sleep away my awful fate

Don't let me wake up, to know I’ll never get my kiss

Knowing that I fought for this, but couldn’t win

Don’t let me wake up to face this living hell

Knowing that I love him, but will never have him again
