How I needed you

How I grieve now you’re gone

In my dreams I see you

I awake so alone



I know you didn’t want to leave

Your heart yearned to stay

But the strength I always loved in you finally gave way



Somehow I knew you would leave me this way

Somehow I knew you could never stay

And in the early morning light

After a silent, peaceful night

You took my heart away and my being



In my dreams I can see you

I can tell you how I feel

In my dreams I can hold you

And it feels so real



I still feel the pain

I still feel your love



And somehow I knew you could never never stay

And somehow I knew you would leave me

And in the early morning light

After a silent, peaceful night

You took my heart away

Oh I wish, I wish you could have stayed
