if i die before i awake,
i'd like you to know that you made my whole world shake.
you captured my heart,
pieced a torn apart
me right back together.
provided me with shelter through the weather.
there was never
a better
man that walked into my life.
and i'm only sorry that i couldn't become your wife.
that i couldn't start that family with you.
but in me lays no regret because i know that you saw me as a backbone, as a provider of love, and you knew i stood witchu you thru everything you saw fit to do.
if i make it to heaven, to roam the streets of gold
let it be known that God be told
there's only one spot i want reserved.
and know i'd do anything in my power to let it be known it was well deserved.
but i think he'd know =) because, see, he made you and i
and he didn't have to try
to capture us in one another's light
because together we shined so bright.
as not one but two individuals with love in their emotional make up's.
if i should die before i awake, know that, no matter how tough
things got - there was never a minute that i didn't love you more each day.
and if i die before i awake, hold me in your arms, keep me in your heart, because that'd be forever where my soul would love to lay.
