Deep down in the peace of my sleep
I can hear my baby cry
I hesitate to wake up, but no choice
I pick her onto my chest
That’s where she loves to sleep
She snores the night out.

She was just four months old, just a baby
I missed her grow into that sweet little girl
I look through that picture, I still can’t see her
I hear her talk on the phone, imagination hurts
I miss picking her up, perking her on the cheek
I just can’t stand the pain of missing.

I cry baby, in my dreams
I pray day and night
That someday deliverance may come
Then I will be able to give you all
Everything, with all the time you lost
Loving you is painful, I wish I could love you over.

It seems like yesterday
When I said good bye
But memories seem so far
My feelings are no more, numb to the bone
Tears don’t seem to mean a thing
I cry all the same.
