5 Days Ahead

Its all so sudden how I find myself here. With you cradled in my arms; So afraid my shouting heart will wake you. I lie here admiring this gift. The one I dont deserve but I have wanted forever; And thank fate for this moment. The hardest part of my day is leaving you, so thank you for this night. So close your eyes and dream of me. Say everything youre too scared to say. Leave worry to the waking world and know that Im here to keep you safe. Morning comes so quickly these nights, so I keep this time with me. Replaying it over and over. Every detail, every gentle sigh. And as you leave to begin the new day, please think of me.
Know that even though were so far apart, my thoughts are still with you. Just promise me, that youll stay by my side. Its just so hard, the nights so dark sometimes. Here with you it all just seems to slip so far away. (Ill be there with you to make the darkness slip so far away.) Ill close my eyes and dream of you until the stars all fade. So close your eyes. Dream of me. Just promise me youll be there. (I promise you Ill be there.)
