When I Lost You Forever I had a dream about you
You had gone away
I tried searching for you
I searched for a thousand days
I couldn't find you
I cried all day and night
I missed you so badly
I couldn't sleep at night
Every face I looked at
I hoped it would be you
Then I remembered
You'd gone away for good
You had been taken away
From this place called home
You were now far away
Never to return
I thought about the times we shared
Before you had to go
Sometimes I wish it was me
That had died instead
My life is sad now
I want you to come back
I want to hold you so close
But I know I can't
Are you watching over me?
From where you are now
Are you hearing all my prayers?
I wish you were here with me
You were the one I needed
When I wanted to talk
You would always listen
To every painful word
You were there for me
As a guide and a friend
You were there to comfort me
Each time I cried
This dream reminds me
Of the fun we had
The times we were both happy
The times when we were sad
I awake from this dream
My eyes full of tears
Why do I cry? People ask
If it's just a dream
I tell them of that awful day
When you were actually taken away
I tell them that my dream
Is a flashback of reality
As I sit here crying
I say your name
Why did it have to be you?
Why couldn't it have been me?
No one knows the pain I felt
Or how it must have felt
As through each day
I saw you fading away
I waited at your bedside
Hoping you'd awake
But deep down inside
I knew you'd gone away
I cried for a thousand nights
I cried a thousand tears
Trying to make sense of it
This thing that I feared
But now you are gone
I'll never see your face
Only the memory's I now have
Keep me in the race
I promise I won't forget you
And the things you did for me
You weren't just my friend
You was my family
So now as I lay here
Wiping my tears away
I think of the love we shared
Before you went away
I still find it hard
To cope with my life
I know if you were still here
You'd show me how to cope
I know you would've held me
When I needed to cry
I know you would've hugged me
When I couldn't cope with life
The more I think about you
The more I want to cry
I'm laying here crying
Wishing you were still here
