How I needed you How I grieve now you're gone In my dreams I see you I awake so alone I know you didn't want to leave Your heart yearned to stay But the strength I always loved in you finally gave way Somehow I knew you would leave me this way Somehow I knew you could never stay And in the early morning light After a silent, peaceful night You took my heart away and my being In my dreams I can see you I can tell you how I feel In my dreams I can hold you And it feels so real I still feel the pain I still feel your love And somehow I knew you could never never stay And somehow I knew you would leave me And in the early morning light After a silent, peaceful night You took my heart away Oh, I wish, I wish you could have stayed
