Yesterday morning, my man got up after I did. (Normal here.) He grabbed me, hugged me tight, and said, "Before you get up, would you please snuggle me?" It was so sweet. Something hit like a bolt and a song came to me. (I've written a dozen or so.) I'm going to share. But get your hankie out. It wasn't supposed to be so sad, but it just kept running that way. Hard to stop when that happens. It was written in 15 min. I play guitar (not well, but passable) and the tune even came with the song.
(This is a little embarrassing...)
SNUGGLE WITH ME
I woke up this morning
The moon still rode the sky
Stretched and yawned, rubbed my eyes
A new day drawing nigh
And as I rose I felt a stir
Then heard a sleepy sigh
My love put his hand in mine
And pulled me to his side
CHORUS 1:
Snuggle with me in the morning
Kiss me when I wake up
Stay with me all thru the night
It still won't be enough
‘Cause you are all I want
You are all I need
I am you, we are one
So snuggle here with me
In my sleep I heard a cry
A tiny voice in the night
Nightmares visited our little son
That voice was filled with fright
I rushed to him, crawled into his bed
Felt his fear go away
Stroked his hair and held him close
And all that I could say
CHORUS 2:
I'll snuggle with you in the morning
I'll kiss you when you wake up
I'll stay with you all thru the night
And if it's not enough
Just remember you're all I want
You are all I need
I am you, we are one
So snuggle here with me
BRIDGE:
Yesterday we heard the news, it was not to be
Our little boy would not get well
It brought me to my knees
I went to him, he lay so still
So beautiful and sweet
I held him tight and through my tears
I whispered quietly
CHORUS 3:
Snuggle with God in the morning
He'll kiss you when you wake up
He'll stay with you eternally
And it will be enough
But you're still all I want
My baby you'll always be
But you are you, you had to go
Away.... from me.
REFRAIN:
You're in my heart, I'll always feel you
Snuggle here with me
That was just beautiful
You should see about getting that published for real!
I might've come up with a double-whammy (where you're going, "STOP! You're killing me!). Not sure if I'll add it in or not. But here's the first draft of another verse (leaving out the previous refrain):
Today I wandered by the room
Where he used to sleep
Opened the door, tip-toed in
The silence was so deep
On the bed a teddy bear
The one he held so dear
I scooped it up and hugged it tight
Then felt my love draw near
CHORUS 4:
Snuggle with me in the morning
Kiss me when I wake up
We'll still feel him close to us
And when that's not enough
We'll remember all of the good times
And be smiling through our grief
He won't be be far, he's in our hearts
And you'll still have me.
REFRAIN:
In his arms I felt our boy
Snuggle here....with me.
