Oh, Florida, please be still tonight
Don't disturb this love of mine
Look how she's so serene
You've gotta help me out
I remembered watching her sleep while my fingers were busy running down on her brown hair. She would suddenly shift her position and hug me tight, she was always in a deep slumber and a smile was plastered on her face. I still wonder if she was dreaming of me.
And count the stars to form the lines
And find the words we'll sing in time
I wanna keep her dreaming
It's my one wish
I won't forget this
In her dreams that she did tell me everyday, she was strong enough to fight. Waking up every morning didn't make her happy, not when she knew me. She once told me that because of me, she wasn't afraid to wake up anymore.
'Cause I'm outdated, overrated
Morning seems so far away
If only I could just make it all stop, and let her dream the whole day, I would. If only.
So I'll sing a melody
And hope to god she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
Could get it right
My eyes were starting to shut but I chose to sing a lullaby she always loved, "Your voice gives me peace, and hope. I'd listen to you everyday," I smiled at that thought. Would she still listen to me?
You could crush me
Please don't crush me
'Cause baby I'm a dreamer for sure
And I won't let you down
I swear this time I mean it
The pain I felt crushed me when I knew she had a leukemia, slowly eating her alive, but I stood up and gave her my sweetest smile. I knew I would never give up, cause God, my love for her was greater than that. But still, He chose to take her away from me. It had hurt me.
So much, I couldn't get enough sleep
So much, I couldn't eat
So much, I thought of following her but, I swore to her I would never give up.
And I'll sing a melody
And hope to God she's listening
Sleeping softly while I sing
I would still sing for her, even if she was sleeping and would never wake up, forever.
And I'll be your memories
Your lullaby for all the times
Hoping that my voice could get it right
I was sorry, because my voice didn't get it right. Never will.
