(Spoken Word)
One night I lay awake was I dreaming? I was none too sure.
There was an angel missing from my life thus for me to dream these days was not uncommon. As I sat up slowly turning on the bed side light I picked up the picture I still kept of her and turned it over slowly in my hands but as I did so the glass slipped from the frame and cut into my hand.
I felt the blood rush to the surface and for a moment I even relished the pain before I noticed on the back of the photograph itself one hand written word. I’d never seen it before, it simply said...Attic.
My heart started to race as my longing for her took over completely I had not been to that attic, the place we had spent many long happy nights together talking, looking at the stars and trading stories, since she had gone but already I was half way there...
I turned the key in the lock and gently pushed open the door and I saw it...There on the old table was a burned out candle and one single envelope containing a letter with my name written on the front...
The handwriting was her’s and so with shaking hands I began to read her last ever words to me...
Chorus
Will you hold me if I make a memory
And console me if I write a tradgedy
Will you smile when I’m where I need to be
And show me the way I need to see
Verse 1
A letter from heaven’s light
When you were but one breath from the end
Words that I will read tonight
I wish but in my dreams you’ll be here again
I cannot carry on
This pain is much too strong
I see your face and pray that I not wake tonight
Chorus
Verse 2
I would give my life my dear
To free you from your chains of hell
As I read your words to me
I see your last tears where they once fell
I cannot close this door
I know our love is so much more
I wander every waking moment wishing you were here
Chorus
