If she should ever wake
From the darkest of dark sleep
I pray the Lord my soul I’ll keep
If she should ever wake

I wait forever at her side
With no more tears to brush aside
And only the wind howling outside
Will be the only sound God makes
If she should ever wake

I promised I would never leave
A promise I will never break
If she should ever wake

I told her I’m the first one she’ll see
And here I’ll always be
So she would come back to me
Oh, what a smile my face would make
If she should ever wake

So I lay myself beside her
And write these songs for her
Hoping she could possibly hear
Wishing, with wistful tears

I promised I would never leave
A promise I will never break
If she should ever wake

I hold her cold, unfeeling hand
Trying to understand
How to reap a harvest from barren land
And love for loving’s sake
If she should ever wake

Never has time moved so slow
Nor darkness seemed to grow
Into her dream I will follow
And pray my soul to take
If she should never wake

How heartbreaking, to think that one lies in a coma, still with us, still not...

at least, this is the imagery that you've cast out for me to see....

and it shall stay with me all the day....

and, as always, you touch the heart. . .
