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

When you're gone I miss you so much

I do the only thing I can do

I pray for you, I pray for you

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

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

Oh I pray for you

I light a candle, watch it burn

When you're gone I miss you so much

Please hold her and protect her
