Kate & Anna McGarrigle - Babies If I Didn't Have You lyrics

I had a dream last night That gave my heart a fright I dreamt that someone had come and taken you From me When I woke in the morning light My dream had been wrong And these words were like a sweet song To me "Mama, the small hand's at eight Get up or I'll be late Please fix me something sweet and good To eat now For that bell in the yard won't wait And neither does time" These words rang like a sad rhyme To me With my eyes barely open I pulled myself out of my warm bed The night before had been a long one And I could hardly hold up my head But the sun always rises And night fades away Once more I'm grateful To see a new day Whether it's right or wrong You keep my head screwed on You are reality and fantasy all in one You're my reason for going on And I don't know what I'd do Babies if I didn't have you
