I feel you in my dreams every night

You're always there, just out of sight

Who you are I do not know

Nor where you come from or where you go

​

You're a mystery woman who haunts my mind

But no trace of your existence I can find

Are you a dream or are you real

For sometimes your presence I think I can feel

​

An invisible force watching over me

Omnipresent being that I cannot see

Daylight hides you from my searching eyes

But when night falls I hear your gentle cries

​

Whispering soft words in my ears

I can feel the moisture from your tears

Soothing the pain that ravages my body like fire

Those words you say drain my heart's desire

​

Encouraging me to let go of my existence here

Time is ticking and the open door is near

Your face comes into view and I can see you are real

As soft breath on my face I can feel

​

You are an angel, but not of life, only death

And you lean over me as I take my last breath

I finally get to kiss those ruby red lips

And out of this body my spirit slowly slips
