without you

lastnight i dreamed i was in heaven
but you werent there
there were a million smiling faces
but why should i care
for all the happiness and joy
my soul still felt weak and destroyed
heaven couldnt be enjoyed
without you

everywhere i looked were angels
and deep blue skies
but there were no stars and no peace there
and then i cried
you were the only one i loved
and though id gone to live above
there was no peace without your love
without you

i wandered lonely and heart broken
and then i prayed
i knelt before the holy alter
weak and dismayed
i couldnt bare to leave your side
and there was nowhere left to hide
the sorrow that i felt inside
without you

and so i came back down to see you
and you'd moved on
you had a wife and two sweet children
for i was gone
and when i looked into your eyes
you couldnt see me by your side
you looked away and then i sighed
without you

you had to live your life without me
and who could blame
a man for needing someone for him
to take his name
i turned my face back to the sky
i knew you needed love like i
and i'd just have to wait a while
without you
