I Almost Missed You - Stephen Kellogg

You were fast asleep when I came home

Breathing like a baby, looking so alone

I wanted to wake you because I’d had this crazy thought

That I needed you to hear in case we didn’t get to talk

Driving down the highway, I was coming from the show

The dreadful wind and rain, the car just lost control

And I’m thinking to myself as we skid across the road

I do not need to know those things that angels know

If anything should ever happen

I wanted you to know

I’d always want more days with you

A chance to share a laugh or two

I wouldn’t have a choice just so you know

If I should ever go

I see us at a funeral and my heart begins to pound

With respect to my mortality, I can not stand that sound

What if you couldn’t hear me but I could see your soft brown curls?

The echoes of a promise in a new born baby girl

So darling I just had to wake you, you’re still half sleeping though

To tell you what I felt tonight, those things that the angels know

If anything should ever happen

I wanted you to know

I’d always want more days with you

A chance to share a tear or two

I wouldn’t have a choice just so you know

If I should ever go
