With You in Your Dreams

If I'm gone when you wake up, please don't cry

"Mommy!! I made a new friend last night! Her name is Valerie. Can she come over?"

"Maybe some other time Brian," Jackie Littrell said, not knowing exactly what her son meant. Brian gave his mother a funny face and left to go out and play.

And if I'm gone when you wake up, it's not good-bye

Brian felt like he had known this girl all his life and he wanted to tell someone about her. But he knew that his twelve year old friends would laugh at him and his parents wouldn't believe him. He decided to ignore it as best he could....

Don't look back on this time as a time of heartbreak and distress

"Nick, Valerie's gone!! I haven't seen her in the last week!"

"Bri, she's just something that your mind created when you were a kid. You're 19! Maybe you finally grew out of it."

"You don't understand!! She always knew what was going to happen to me!"

"I'm sure she did man," Nick chuckled to himself as he walked away.

Remember me, remember me, 'cause I'll be with you in your dreams

"Brian, look out for something big today. I promise you're gonna love it," Valerie said to him.

And then Brian woke up. He knew that today was going to be a day he'd never forget.
