love her like i lost her

i can hear tires screeching

breaking glass and twisting steel. there were red lights flashing

an awful smelling smoke

and it was her behind the wheel. that little blue car underneath that giant semi-truck. was my whole world ending

so thank god i woke up. just for a moment

i believed she'd been taken away from me. and my life was changed

'cause i felt the pain

even though it was just a dream. so i made a vow starting right now that every look and smile

every touch and kiss would be longer

and sweeter

and softer

and i love her like i lost her. still holding my breath

i reached for the telephone. i just had to know she was safe at home. she probably thought i was crazy when i wouldn't let her off the line. i bet i told her i loved you" at least a thousand times. just for a moment
