I developed this strange habit
before going to sleepI think about all the things that could go wrong tomorrow
I think about all the mistakes I could make
And I think about everything bad that could happenI count them in my head as one might count sheep
to help them fall asleepand right just before I give up on life
and give in to my sorrowsI think of you
and I think of all the things
in my life,
the bad, the ugly, and the sorrowand it is then I start to realize
never in a million years
would I ever think that I would meet someone
as amazing as youThat in a lifetime of Tragic realities
Life gave me a dream come trueTo see you smile
Hear your laugh
to see myself reflected in your eyes
They are the reasons I am able to face tomorrowAnd I realize
all the bad things in my life
that had happen and that will happencannot overshadow knowing someone
like you exists in my lifeand no matter what happens tomorrow
what I might face after I wake upIt will not change the fact
That I had you in my lifeYou are the reason I am able to sleep soundly at night
and knowing I might see you once more is the reason
why I still wake up in the morningFor you see I've developed this weird habit
before going to bedWhere I think about all the things that could go wrong
I think about all the mistakes I made
And I think about everything bad about my life
and how little it matters to me
if only I can dream of you tonightGoodnight, and sweet dreams.
