|
Laying here in bed |
|
The nurse wheeled you in |
|
Is this happening? |
|
No, I've seen your face before |
|
You were standing at my door |
|
But that was fifty years ago? |
|
And I don't know |
|
If it is true |
|
Or is it really you? |
|
Is my mind just reeling these pictures of you? |
|
But you said: |
|
"Sailor, yes it's me |
|
I've waited for this day |
|
And I love you." |
|
Fifty years... I love you |
|
It took a short moment but my soul remembers |
|
The day we first met in brisk November |
|
My life had changed, I never felt the same |
|
I realized it then but I know for sure now |
|
We were never born and we were never dead and |
|
I've loved you so many lives before |
|
Baby, take a look, now I'm old and crazy |
|
For all that I know I'm hallucinating |
|
But I was crazy when I met you |
|
I guess nothing changes |
|
Including all the charm in our two old faces |
|
And the dreams we both built we are always chasing |
|
The same hospital, Babe |
|
It's me |
|
Baby, it's me |
|
I'm here love |
|
And if you don't believe I'll kiss your cheek |
|
I'll climb into your bed underneath the sheets |
|
And we'll call it quits together |
|
And that's ok by me |
|
You can read whole book but there's always one chapter |
|
That'll change your whole life and forever after |
|
You had a baby, I was scared and angry |
|
I chose to leave your life, I thought I didn't belong there |
|
The worst thing I did in the last fifty years |
|
Now I'm begging you, in the hospital |
|
Ok, |
|
So if I told you we live forever |
|
Would you ever believe? |
|
Twelve thousand years and I can remember |
|
You always end up with me |
|
So let us lie here warm together |
|
And turn the light out in peace |
|
Cause then the next life will be such a pleasure |
|
As we build our new dream! |
|
And if I told you that I remember |
|
Would you ever believe? |
|
I love you more than forever! |
|
But now it's time for sleep |
