You were fast asleep when I came home Breathing like a baby, looking so alone I wanted to wake you because I'd had this crazy thought That I needed you to hear in case we didn't get to talk Driving down the highway, I was coming from the show The dreadful wind and rain, the car just lost control And I'm thinking to myself as we skid across the road I do not need to know those things that angels know If anything should ever happen I wanted you to know I'd always want more days with you A chance to share a laugh or two I wouldn't have a choice just so you know If I should ever go I see us at a funeral and my heart begins to pound With respect to my mortality, I can not stand that sound What if you couldn't hear me but I could see your soft brown curls? The echoes of a promise in a new born baby girl So darling I just had to wake you, you're still half sleeping though To tell you what I felt tonight, those things that the angels know If anything should ever happen I wanted you to know I'd always want more days with you A chance to share a tear or two I wouldn't have a choice just so you know If I should ever go
