This Hospital Room

I don’t know how they expect me to sleep

When they hold your heart steady and count every beat

The daylight is fading along with your sparkling eyes

The sun shining in comes to rest on your bed

And it lays in a halo surrounding your head

You look more like an angel right now then I’d ever dreamed

But this silent rebellious love inside me screams

What if you died tonight

With my head by your side

Would God grant me wings and let me carry you home

The walls are so white in this hospital room

And they offset the colors of flowers and balloons

And the cards on the table grow higher and higher each day

They’re addressed to you but they’re all sent for me

To remind me that I’m not alone when you leave

But I don’t know if that is enough to hold me here

There’s just enough strength right now to hold back the tears

What if you died tonight

With my head by your side

Would God grant me wings and let me carry you home

I’ve never been one for begging someone

But will anyone, will anyone please help me

What if you died tonight

With my head by your side

Would God grant me wings and let me carry you home
