Sleepless

Once upon a time there was a guy who loved a girl
She was absolutely perfect in an imperfect world
Forever saw promise
It's more than just a word
And they meant it to each other
Of that they were sure
He came home to her crying at the top of the stairs
He asked: Baby what's the matter? As he pushed back her hair
She said: Honey I'm sick
What the hell did I do?
And with pain in his heart he screamed at the Moon
Please don't
Take her away from me
She truly is everything
That I have left
As selfish as it may seem
I need you here with me
Day after day
He stood by her side
While Sleepless in Seattle played through his mind
Forever seems longer when you've got your whole life
But forever is forgotten when the end draws the line
She said: Honey just listen
Listen to me
We should be together in a boat on the sea
He held back his tears
And spoke quietly
When I picture forever
It's you here with me
Please don't
Take her away from me
She truly is everything
That I have left
As selfish as it may seem
I need you here with me
And please just let her go painlessly
Let her drift of in her dreams
Just don't make her feel a thing
Just try and get some sleep
This angel deserves her wings
As leaves fell from the trees
She became a memory
To a man who lost everything
Forever doesn't mean anything
Just a promise that we came
That there's hope for you and me
She looked to the sky
And with one final breath
She said: Take this heart from out of my chest
Carry it far with the love you possess
I'm sorry my boy
But I tried
My best
