I Should Just Keep On Dreaming
I should just keep on dreaming
I try to keep our routine,
serve your breakfast in bed
I come to pick up the dishes,
food's untouched and cold instead
(refrain)
Oh I should just keep on dreaming....
that's the only place I can see you
A lot of time has passed by,
seems like more than a year
I still can't believe you're gone,
I wake up sobbing and in tears
(refrain)
Oh I should just keep on dreaming....
that's the only place I can see you
Chorus
Oh I should just keep on dreaming
it's so much better being there,
our whole family's there together,
better than my day time nightmare
Oh I should just keep on dreaming
that's the only time I find some peace.
My life is such a mess,
sometimes, I wish I died instead,
Life has lost all of it's meaning,
guess I'll stay home and hold my breath
(refrain)
Oh I should just keep on dreaming....
that's the only place I can see you
My wife and our 3 daughters,
passed away that day in June,
I got the call while I was working,
they were all taken too soon
(refrain)
Oh I should just keep on dreaming....
that's the only place I can see you
I went to the court today,
to hear the judges final word
Four years for four lives taken,
is just obscene and so absurd
Chorus
Oh I should just keep on dreaming
it's so much better being there,
our whole family's there together,
better than my day time nightmare
Oh I should just keep on dreaming
that's the only time I find some peace.
(refrain)
Oh I should just keep on dreaming....
that's the only place...
I...
can...
still...
see you...

This song was written after hearing a news story from Vaughan, (just north of Toronto) Canada, of a man who lost his wife and three daughters in a car accident caused by a drunk and drugged driver. The sentence is another tragedy after the first one, poor mans life is ruined. The news story headline was Man wants to die...so sad.
