HOLD ME

HOLD ME

I dreamed last night that you had died
And oh, it was so bad
The choir sang very beautifully
But everyone was sad;
You just laid there smiling
I know that you couldn't see
Still I asked the question:
"Baby, who's gonna hold me?"

Who will hold my hand someday
When I lose you forever?
And how can I carry on
In any kind of weather?
You walked with me in sunshine
And when the fog rolled in
We slid around in the snow
And fell down in the wind.

We only had each other, babe
It always seemed enough
And when you're gone I'll sob
And sob; feeling so damn rough;
At least it was just a dream
And you're still around to need
And I'm here to hold your heart
Should it stop or bleed.

I drifted back to a deep sleep
And this time it was me
Inside a coffin lined in red
How I wished that I could see;
You bowed your head in silence
Your hand upon my knee
As you whispered with a sob:
"Baby, who's gonna hold me?"

Then I awoke to bright sunshine
The radio was playing
I smelled bacon in a pan
A Dj was just saying:
"Rise & shine, get outta bed!"
And as I did just that
You walked in to hold me
With our two dogs and cat.

It's all the simple things I love
That you do for me
Like reading me the paper
And bringing me my tea;
When it's scorching hot outside
Or when it's freezing cold
Come to me and I will always
Be here for you to hold.

Hold me.......
