Dreaming

I awoke from my dream last night
Remembering it so clearly
I swear you were right there
I swear that you could hear me

In my dream, 24 years ago
I was holding this precious baby
I looked into the little boys eyes
spelled out were the words \'Help Save Me\'

I couldnt contain my sadness
When I realized the baby I held,
The one and only love of my life
I knew the disappointment this baby felt.

In my dream, this baby could see
That this women let him down
She couldnt see him dying
She didnt know that he would drown

The light in this babies eyes
dwindled as his gazed up at me
Shook his head back and forth
for the morbid forcast he could see

The baby wasnt scared
He knew life would take its course
I tried to tell him that it wasnt that simple
that I would forever be filled with remorse

How hard it is to hold something so dear
that you just know you cant protect
that you\'ll live, love and laugh
but in the end be filled with regret

Never would I have changed the way
everything unfolded until the end
Cause up until then
you were my life, love and best friend
