Tell Me

I hate going to sleep really late at night
restless worrying knowing nothings right

tossing turning in my bed
million thoughts spinning in my head

why did cancer knock at Dad's door
Endless not knowing what's next in store

Is this the last time for his this or thats
son, dad, husband too many hats

He says, "We need to keep living everyday"
Tell me some thing's going to take it away!

Tell me it was a mistake
Tell me what they saw was fake
Tell me son I got you
Tell me there's a cure that's new
Tell me you have twenty years to live
Tell me you can take anything it can give
Tell me I love you
And I'll tell you I love you too
Tell me it's alright
so I can finally go to sleep tonight

His hugs are different then they were before
A little tighter and just a second more

talk is less about now
and more about future dreams
like he is trying to prelive them,
or so it seems

What is normal in these unnormal ways
pretend the sun is shining on rainy days

He says, "We need to keep living everyday"
Tell me some thing's going to take it away!

Tell me it was a mistake
Tell me what they saw was fake
Tell me son I got you
Tell me there's a cure that's new
Tell me you have twenty years to live
Tell me you can take anything it can give
Tell me I love you
And I'll tell you I love you too
Tell me it's alright
so I can finally go to sleep tonight

Tell me I love you
And I'll tell you I love you too
Tell me it's alright
so I can finally go to sleep tonight

Tell me I love you
