While I Slept I don't want to loose
What I have left in this life
Yet I feel it slipping away
From my only life
While I was sleeping you went away
Your spirit went so far away
It flew so high into the blue
The world slowly disappearing from view
No one knew what this journey meant
Or why to heaven you was sent
But I knew that you had gone
Back to the place you came from
You left sometime while you slept
So there was no pain you had felt
There will be no coming back
To a body that's forever relaxed
My life will be forever changed
Now you are homeward bound
Now you're gone its you I'll miss
Never to feel your sweet warm kiss
Now I see what is to be
My life is destined to be lonely
Anyone I love goes away
Causing the loneliness to start again
