Leave Me Here To Dream Poem by Shirley Harrison

I cannot see my way
without you beside me
there's no future left
no future, without you
I've lost you forever
I'm here all alone
future is empty
my path now unknown

Chorus
I don't want to wake
leave me here to dream
I don't want the day, the day to begin

Your smile, was my light
and now you are gone
like a flower that died
without any sun

Chorus
I don't want to wake
leave me here to dream
I don't want the day, the day to begin

A guitar without strings
your music has stopped
but my memories, they cling
they're all that I've got

I'm a stream without water
tears just don't flow
the river I've cried
it's emptied my soul

Chorus
I don't want to wake
leave me here to dream
I don't want the day, the day to begin

Come back to see me
if only in my sleep
let me know what it's like
beyond this world, as I weep
I'll wait for you
I'll wait for you

please, please, wait for me.
