Sleep


Sleep 

 

When I sleep I think of you 

All the memories we’d been through 

Everyday feels like forever 

I just can't wait to sleep to see you 

To see you standing there all nicely dressed 

To forget our last memory and create the best 

I missed you then and I still do now 

I wish I could say next time I'd see you is with a crown 

 

All the memories should count for something 

But yet somehow they don’t 

So I sit here in the silence waiting for you 

Although I know you'll never come, all I can ever is wish

 

Your the one thing i've wanted back 

Living my life as bestly as I ever could 

Without you here it's pretty tough 

You thought we’d move on but obviously not

 

All we can ever do is wish and pray 

It wont can’t change anything but give ease 

Ease to those who still miss your weird quirky little voice 

Ease to those who grew up with out a father
