Laying here in bed
The nurse wheeled you in
Is this happening?
No, I've seen your face before
Standing at my door
But that was fifty years ago
And I don't know if it is true
Or is it really you?
Is my mind just reeling pictures of you?
You said "Sailor, yes it's me,"
"I've waited for this day and I love you."
Fifty years, I love you
It took a short moment but my soul remembers
The day we first met in the brisk November
My life had changed, I never felt the same
I realized then but I know for sure now
We were never born, we were never dead
And I've loved you so many lives before
Baby, take a look, now I'm old and crazy
For all that I know I'm hallucinating
But I was crazy when I met you, guess nothing changes
Including all the charm in our two old faces
And the dreams we both built
We were always chasing the same hospital, babe
It's me
Baby, it's me
I'm here love
And if you don't believe I'll kiss your cheek
I'll climb into your bed underneath the sheets
And we'll call it quits together
And that's ok by me
You can read the whole book but there's always one chapter
That'll change your whole life and forever after
You had a baby, I was scared and angry
I chose to leave your life, I thought I didn't belong there
The worst thing I did in the last fifty years
Now I'm begging you in the hospital
So if I told you we live forever
Would you ever believe?
Twelve thousand years and I can remember
You always end up with me
So let us lie here warm together
And turn the lights out in peace
'Cause in the next life it'll be such a pleasure
As we build our new dream!
And if I told you that I remember
Would you ever believe?
I love you so much more than forever
But now it's time for sleep.
