Dreaming Your Back
I just realised, I had my first dream,
You were there by my side from the very first scene.
I woke with the tears streaming all down my face,
I squeezed my eyes shut to go back to that place.
I recall we'd been given just one more day,
We knew by nightfall you'd be taken away.
sisters and brothers, all six of us there,
All grabbing a second, we all want a share
You thought we were odd because you didn't know,
By the end of that day you would have to go.
We were laughing and joking and trying to stay strong,
We knew that this day wouldn't last very long.
I'm praying tonight I'll be dreaming for sure,
It's a place we can laugh and be with you once more.
I could see your strong face as clear as can be,
I know in my dream you were there with me.
