tonight

I know our story has ended,
I know our time is through
I only have one last request
One thing to ask of you.

I was just wondering if maybe
Perhaps for just tonight
You could come and hold me
And tell me everything will be alright.


I’m lying sleepless in this hospital bed
And this flaming IV will not calm my soul.
With each drip, a new trepidation fills my head.
By starlight, I’m missing you so.

So very much has happened and
I’m frightened and alone
I’m afraid of what tomorrow brings
There’s so much still unknown.

I need strong arms to hold me
And keep me from the cold
I need to feel your familiar heart beat.
And so at the risk of sounding bold,
I ask God, please for just one night
Give me back my Angel
And give me rest tonight.
