Lyrics

When I Wake Up

When I wake up, things will be better
It seems like I?ve slept for so many years
All the ones who?ve past on, will be waiting at home
And we?ll laugh over all of these tears

And you?ll be in my arms again
Just like that plane had never left the ground
And I won?t have to wonder how
My world came crashing down

When I wake up, things will be better
I?ll change the way that I lived
I?ll stay close to home, you?ll never be alone
And have all the love that a man can give

I?ll run my fingers through your auburn hair
Then glaze into those hazel eyes
I?ll kiss your lips like there was no yesterday
Til the Angels forget how to fly

When I wake up, things will be better
It?s nice you brought our friends and family
As they walk up the aisle then stop ........ and look down at me
When I wake up, we?ll have one big party
