“I'm fine honey, just missing you.”

“You should be sleeping sweetheart. You need your rest.”

“I know but its hard to sleep when your not holding me.”

“I know. It's just for the night baby and we will be together later today. How about I talk to you and you can try to go back to sleep that way.” It might work but I had a better idea.

“Sing to me.”

“Sing you to sleep?” He asked a bit shocked.

“Yeah sing to me.”

“Alright what song should I sing to you?”

“Dear God you know that is my favorite song. Plus it's comforting to me hearing you sing it to me.”

“Alright here we go...” He cleared his throat and started.

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

While I recall all the words you spoke to me

Can't help but wish that I was there

Back where I'd love to be, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

to hold her when I'm not around,

when I'm much too far away

We all need that person who can be true to you

But I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again

There's nothing here for me on this barren road

There's no one here while the city sleeps

and all the shops are closed

Can't help but think of the times I've had with you

Pictures and some memories will have to help me through, oh yeah

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

to hold her when I'm not around,

when I'm much too far away

We all need that person who can be true to you

I left her when I found her

And now I wish I'd stayed

’Cause I'm lonely and I'm tired

I'm missing you again oh no

Once again

Some search, never finding a way

Before long, they waste away

I found you, something told me to stay

I gave in, to selfish ways

And how I miss someone to hold

when hope begins to fade...

A lonely road, crossed another cold state line

Miles away from those I love purpose hard to find

Dear God the only thing I ask of you is

to hold her when I'm not around,

when I'm much too far away

We all need the person who can be true to you
