Dream Him Home

Do you see him in your dreams, as you close your eyes and try to sleep?

Do you will yourself to sleep so that you can see him sooner? Is he still in your life or is he just in your dreams? Do you lie to yourself or do you see the truth? Will you ever forget him as memories fade with time, a black and white photo fraying at its edge as the image washes out with the passing of time. Or is he imprinted in your heart, an image that will not go away?

Will you love him the rest of his life? Or will you love him the rest of yours?

DREAM HIM HOME by MELINDA SCHNEIDER

She reaches out to his side of the bed
She hears his voice but only in her head
After forty years it’s hard to be alone
So tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home
Dream him home
Dream him home
Oh tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home
The nights are bad, but morning’s even worse
Unprepared for how much losing true love hurts
But she makes it through the day because she knows
That tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home
Dream him home
Dream him home
Oh tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home
Dream him home
Dream him home
Oh tonight she’ll go to sleep and dream him home
