Laying here in bed The nurse wheeled you in Is this happening?
No, I've seen your face before Standing at my door But that was fifty years ago And I don't know if it is true Or is it really you? Is my mind just reeling pictures of you?
You said "Sailor, yes it's me," "I've waited for this day and I love you." Fifty years, I love you
It took a short moment but my soul remembers The day we first met in the brisk November My life had changed, I never felt the same I realized then but I know for sure now We were never born, we were never dead And I've loved you so many lives before
Baby, take a look, now I'm old and crazy For all that I know I'm hallucinating But I was crazy when I met you, guess nothing changes Including all the charm in our two old faces And the dreams we both built We were always chasing the same hospital, babe
It's me Baby, it's me I'm here love And if you don't believe I'll kiss your cheek I'll climb into your bed underneath the sheets And we'll call it quits together And that's ok by me
You can read the whole book but there's always one chapter That'll change your whole life and forever after You had a baby, I was scared and angry I chose to leave your life, I thought I didn't belong there The worst thing I did in the last fifty years Now I'm begging you in the hospital
So if I told you we live forever Would you ever believe? Twelve thousand years and I can remember You always end up with me So let us lie here warm together And turn the lights out in peace 'Cause in the next life it'll be such a pleasure As we build our new dream!
And if I told you that I remember Would you ever believe? I love you so much more than forever But now it's time for sleep.
