To Sleep Perchance To Dream

On that night I had a dream I dreamt that this was all a dream I ignored the sound of my mother's voice Even though I could hear it trembling There's no one on the other line There was nothing wrong, everyone is well I told myself until I heard the ring again The phone... I passed a card aisle the other day I stopped to glance for a second I thought about the cards that came every holiday Every occasion Wait, won't you stay here for me? I haven't seen you since Christmas morning We can speak in dreams, I dream to believe Hey, you weren't so quick to grow up Your laughter and love lit this whole town up Here's my postcard, wish you were here Oh how I wish you were here And when I awoke I kept myself from hysterics But I couldn't dam the flood of memories They're small things Triggers that ignite a serious of movies in my head The good ones, bad ones, the kind that make me laugh The kind that make me sick to my stomach And I was an anchor of stone Completely motionless and alone I was an anchor of stone Completely motionless and alone... But that night as I answered the phone I knew the words before they were told Yet somehow I kept waiting to awake Wait, won't you stay here for me? I haven't seen you since Christmas morning We can speak in dreams, I dream to believe Hey, you weren't so quick to grow up You're laughter and love lit this whole town up Here's my postcard, wish you were here On that night I had a dream, I dreamt it was all a dream
