Lyrics

Sometimes when I sleep

Sometimes during sleep, the speaker envisions someone walking back to them.

I can see you walking back to me

The speaker has a vision of someone returning to them while asleep.

And sometimes I wake up

At times, the speaker wakes up, feeling as if they've been touched.

'Cause I swear I felt your touch

The speaker experiences a sensation of touch during sleep.


Then emotions overcome me

Overwhelming emotions and cold darkness envelop the speaker.

And the darkness is so cold

The speaker feels intense emotions, and the darkness feels emotionally chilling.


I light a candle, watch it burn

In response, the speaker lights a candle, symbolizing hope.

I feel the angels come and fill this room

Angels are metaphorically invoked to fill the room with a sense of divine presence.

When you're gone I miss you so much

When the person is absent, the speaker misses them deeply.

I do the only thing I can do

In the absence, the speaker does the only thing they can—pray.

I pray for you, I pray for you

The speaker expresses that they pray for the person.


Every minute of the day

Throughout the day, the speaker envisions the person's face.

I can clearly see your face

The person's face is vivid in the speaker's mind every minute.

And every minute we're apart

The separation from the person is emotionally distressing for the speaker.

You know it just breaks my heart

The distance between them causes heartbreak for the speaker.


I'm so lonely, but I'm okay

Despite loneliness, the speaker maintains hope, anticipating a reunion.

'Cause I know we'll be together again

The speaker believes they will be reunited with the person.


I light a candle, watch it burn

Similar to before, the speaker lights a candle in the person's absence.

I feel the angels come and fill this room

Angels are invoked again, suggesting a desire for divine intervention.

When you're gone I miss you so much

The absence of the person intensifies the speaker's longing and prayer.

I do the only thing I can do

The only recourse for the speaker is to pray for the absent person.

I pray for you, I pray for you

Reiteration of the speaker's commitment to praying for the person.

Oh I pray for you

The act of praying is emphasized as the speaker continues to pray.


I light a candle, watch it burn

Continuation of the symbolic act of lighting a candle in the person's absence.

I feel the angels come and fill this room

Angels are once again invoked, reinforcing a sense of spiritual presence.

When you're gone I miss you so much

The absence of the person continues to evoke deep feelings of longing.

I do the only thing I can do

The only action the speaker can take is to persist in praying for the person.

I pray for you, I pray for you

Reiteration of the speaker's commitment to praying for the person.

Oh I pray for you

Emphasizing the ongoing act of praying for the person.


Please hold her and protect her

A plea is made to hold and protect the person until their return.

'Til she's back here in my arms again

Expressing a desire for the person to return to the speaker's embrace.

Oh and tell her how I love her

Request to convey love to the person and a commitment to wait forever.

And I'll be waiting right here forever, Amen

The speaker concludes with an "Amen," signifying a solemn affirmation of their commitment and prayer.
