With the dawn of the new day before me,
I rub my eyes free of sleep so I can see.
As I stumble through the hallway of this house,
I wonder what it would be like with a loving spouse.
Then I hear my little boy calling out impatiently,
wanting to be let out of his room to run free.
I change his diaper and get him dressed for the day,
then we go to the kitchen to eat before we play.
While my hands are busy doing the motherly duties,
my mind is far away, and in my heart I feel a tight squeeze.
For it is with you that I wish to start this day and life anew...
every second, every minute, every hour of every day I just want you.
Before I know it my son is ready to get down and off we go,
We laugh, he cries, and more than once I have to tell him "No!"
Even in this maddening and crazy rush of a morning that is mine,
I find my thoughts wandering to you every single time.
I think what it would be like to have you within my view,
all the things we'd say and all the things we could do.
The excitement and happiness of joining our families as one,
never regretting, never sad, never wanting it to be undone.
With every ring of the telephone my heart skips a beat,
I'm hoping it's you with your soft voice and words so sweet.
As my son lays down for his afternoon nap and I have time to think,
I need you so badly and knowing I can't have you makes my heart sink.
Every night is filled with dreams of you, though you're so far away,
I dream that my wish comes true and soon you'll be near me every day.
