Night Dream
when I was a child
the evenings would be so long
lying in bed I'd cry and I'd pray
i hoped for a better life
patient, waiting, longing
awake in night I would stare
i'd look through the ceiling
and night dream of future plans
i'd never leave my wife
i'd always love my children
i'd tell them how proud i am
i'd give them a wonderful life
now i'm a grown man
i have my wonderful wife
two fantastic children
i have a wonderful life
but at times i still remember
those nights when i was alone
the nights i was up and crying
wishing i lived in a happy home
tell your children you love them
marry a wonderful wife
give your children something different
let them enjoy their nights
