Might Not Make it This Time

My alarm clock's ringin' and my eyes are still shut tight,
Didn't get much rest from those heavy dreams last night.
Like a fool I reached across to touch your pretty hair,
Then the bottom dropped right out, remembering you weren't there.
Time was I held you till the early morning dawn,
Time was I never thought that you'd ever be gone,
Time now I threw the covers and got some coffee perked
To drown my sorrows in and head on off to work.

CHORUS:
And I feel like I make not make it this time,
And I feel like I might not make it this time,
Until I hold you and I am free.
Oh look what the child has done to me.

On the day you left me I watched you running in the sand,
Palos Verdes at your back and a radio in your hand,
And when you turned around to gaze out at your sea,
What was it hurt you more, leavin' home or leaving me?
And I would like to chase my dreams as ruggedly as you,
Suck it up and tell myself to do what I got to do.

 

 

CHORUS

Got a package for you baby, I'm sending you your mail,
With a great big blessing out along that postal trail.
While I got the chance is there something else that I could send,
How about that sweater of yours I never had the chance to mend?
The carrots in our garden will make you a lovely little cake,
Sprinkled with those blackberries we picked down at the lake.

CHORUS
