The Dream

Caught
up in living life
Just getting through each day
To realize what I have
‘Til it is taken away
We were shocked by the news
The rug pulled from our feet
She was on borrowed time
‘Til she passed in her sleep
I
look to the sky and say...
“A rainbow turns only blue
Since I can’t share it with you
I’m on a sailboat with no wind
Going as fast as I want to
Life is so blue without you”
I walk into our room
Open the closet door
Straighten her hanging clothes
Leave her shoes on the floor
I spray her perfume
Let it float through the air
I would then close my eyes
And imagine she was there
look
to the sky and say...
“Blue skies are so blue
Since I can’t share them with you
I’m on a train with no tracks
Going as far as I want to
Life is so blue without you”
Movement in my bed
Startled me from my sleep
This had all been a dream
She’s waking next to me
So
thankful it was a dream
A chance for me to see
Took for granted so long
What my wife means to me
I look at her and say...
“My life would be so blue
If I couldn’t share it with you
Relieved that I’m with you
I awoke in Xanadu
Only one thing to conclude
I will always love you”
