I Almost Missed You

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
