We Fell Asleep Last Night
We fell asleep last night
In each other’s arms
I had a dream, a wonderful dream
You and the kids were standing there
This was a sight I longed to see
Our family all together
I can’t believe it finally happened
It had been so long
I thought we had all forgotten
What it was like
All the anger and hurt they had
Broke our hearts and made us sad
We all were hurting deep inside
From lies and angry words
We were all told
Together now we all forgive
Happiness has gifted us
This is how we will always live
If I wake up and it was all a dream
No children standing near
No forgiveness
Only pain
Then I shall go back to sleep
Where my dear husband,
The sweet children,
Forgiveness and love
Will always be
