iTunes Shuffle-Sleeping to Dream

Well, it's been a little bit since I've entertained you with some iPod music :). Today's song is special...and here's why...
Years ago, a friend of mine left for a year to live in Seattle while doing an internship and discipleship program. It wasn't until he was gone that he decided to tell me that he had feelings for me. HA. He is a wonderful person, and we were able to keep up some sort of long distance relationship...but as you can tell, things didn't work out. Anyway, one night while we were talking on the phone, he told me to download a Jason Mraz album from the iTunes store...because whenever he listened to some of the songs on there, they reminded him of me and he wanted me to know more of his feelings towards me. So I did. And was floored :). Today I share the most important song to me from that album...it's just nice to remember a time when I was loved and adored by someone...

Sleeping to Dream - Jason Mraz
And I
I'm dreaming of sleeping next to you and feeling like a lost little boy in a brand new town
I'm counting my sheep and each one that passes is another dream to ashes
And they all fall down.

And as I lay me down tonight
I close my eyes
What, what a beautiful sight

[Chorus:]
Sleeping to dream about you
And I'm so tired
Of having to live without you
But I don't mind
Sleeping to dream about you and I'm so tired

I found myself in the riches
Your eyes, your lips, your hair and you were everywhere
I woke up in the ditches, I hit the light and I thought you might be here
But you were nowhere (you were nowhere)
Well You were nowhere

And as I lay me back to sleep
Lord I pray that I can keep

[Repeat Chorus]

It's just a little a lullaby to keep myself from crying myself to sleep at night
Oh just a lullabye to keep from crying myself to sleep
Oh just a, just oh, just a little lullabye,

Sleeping to dream about you
And I'm so tired
Of having to live without you
And I'm so tired
