I want to wake up from a nightmare and be right by your side

Have you comfort me in the 'midst of a long and lonely night

And one day I want to be real scared and hold on to your arm

Cry and have you hold me in that embrace where I belong

But I don't ever want to see you in all that much pain

Never see you cry like that in the middle of the rain

But if you ever do I want to say now that you're free

To quietly and softly, long and loudly ask for me.

'Cause I lose a little bit when I awake alone at night

And I fade a little bit when you're never in my sight

And once upon a time, you know, there was a fairytale

Where I had you as my knight and you could never fail

And sometimes you set me crying, sometimes, in the wind

When I'm screaming out your name I can't seem to begin

To shout the words I feel inside for you, I've just got to

Assume you know them all by heart and still have room
