Sleeping to Dream

I'm sure Jason Mraz Wrote this song under totally different circumstances. The lyrics grabbed at my soul while eating dinner tonight...

The lyrics say it all. Read for yourself. I hope you like the song as much as I do. I could listen all night, you know since I am not sleeping.


Sleeping to Dream by Jason Mraz

I'm dreaming of sleeping next to you I'm feeling like a lost little boy in a brand new town

I'm counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes
and they all fall down.

And as I lay me down tonight,
I close my eyes, what a beautiful sight

Sleeping to dream about you
And I'm so tired of having to live without you
But I don't mind.
Sleeping to dream about you and I'm so tired

I found myself in the riches (Your eyes, your lips, your hair.) And you were everywhere

I woke up in the ditches. I hit the light and I thought you might be here
but you were nowhere. (You were nowhere)
Well, you were nowhere at home.

As I lay me back to sleep
Lord I pray that I can keep

Sleeping to dream about you
And I'm so tired of having to live without you
Well, I don't mind
Sleeping to dream about you and I'm so tired

(Just a little a lullaby to keep myself from crying myself to sleep at night.)

Sleeping to dream about you
I'm so tired of having to live without you
Well, I don't mind
Sleeping to dream about you and I'm so tired


What I wouldn't give to wake up one day and find this all to be just a very, very, bad dream... What I wouldn't give to watch all four of my children playing together. For now, I guess I'll just try to picture my sweet boy perfectly healthy and happily playing with the angels.

Maybe the angels will bless me with a whisper tonight. Starlight, star bright, first star I see tonight. I wish I may, I wish I might, have this wish I wish tonight...

To those who follow along on my journey,

I am so thankful for your presence in my life, near and far. Would you help me? Cherish those who are near and dear to you tonight. Give them an extra kiss and make each and every moment count. Some have it all and don't even realize what is right in front of them... I petition your prayers tonight for those who are facing tough times and especially for those of us who sleep to dream of our precious children....

With a Grateful Heart,
