#171 GRIEF – WHEN I REALIZED YOUR ABSENCE WAS REAL
#184 THERE WERE SO MANY THINGS THAT I WANTED TO TELL YOU
#230 I PICTURED YOUR SOUL SOARING FREE
#272 IT ALL SEEMED SO REAL – PART 2
#342 I OPENED MY EYES AND I CLOSED THEM AGAIN
SO REAL
Copyright 2018 by Judy Unger
This morning when I woke up it slipped my mind
You are not here with me anymore
I smiled when I thought of your gentle, warm laughter
And dreamt of my next carefree moment with you
–
It all seemed so real; it all seemed so real
Until I remembered, I thought it was real
Here I could feel; here I could feel
Until I remembered, your absence was real
–
This morning when I woke up it slipped my mind
You are not here with me anymore
There were so many things I wanted to tell you
I thought it could wait; there was plenty of time, ‘cause
–
It all seemed so real; it all seemed so real
Until I remembered, I thought it was real
Here I could feel; here I could feel
Until I remembered, your absence was real
–
This morning when I woke up I felt you close by
I still heard your voice and my heart felt so full
Then I recalled all the things that had happened
The moment was gone dreaming you might be there
I opened my eyes; the anguish overwhelmed me
I closed them again and I pictured your soul soaring free
–
It all seemed so real; it all seemed so real
I know it’s because, I just wished it were real
All I could feel, all I could feel was my pain
Oh, how I wished you were real
