I was working job after job
just trying to stop missing you
I didn't know what I would do...
if I thought of you once more.

An opportunity for friendship
would pass me by
and no one could understand why
I didn't want a cheap replacement
for the best thing I could have.

I worked 12 hours at a time
sleeping less and saying "I'm fine'
I thought I could survive without sleep
If I could I wouldn't dream


I dreamt of you when I closed my eyes
Only You, to no surprise
And when I woke my chest was tight
While you were gone, my dear
