Bad Dream

I woke up tonight
With tears in my eyes
I had a bad dream
That you wern't by my side
I woke with a fright
And was gasping for air
And with sweat dripping down my face
I thought life just isn't fair
It was only a dream
But it scared me to death
I sat there shaking
As I tried to catch my breath
What if it were true
And you really did leave?
What if you only left
The memories of you and me?
What if you left
Without a care
Just gave me a pat
And said "life just isn't fair"
I don't know why
It scared me so much
But at that moment
I needed your reassuring touch
I needed to hear you say
That everything would be ok
Thats when the phone rang
It was you
You apologized with shame
You didn't mean
For the call to be so late
But you'd had a bad dream
And couldn't wait
To hear my voice
Say it's ok
And as I thought
How much I love you
You told me about your dream
You needed me too
