XV - When I Dream lyrics

[Hook x4] When I close my eyes I see your face I'm just not sure how much a heart can mean [Verse 1] Sometimes I can't wait to sleep like I can't wait to be In your arms grandmoms I love you though I hate to leave When my eyes open realities sent sent for me Tellin' me your no longer here to chill and sit wit me I still remember that dream in 2003 You visited my place, a week after your wake I can't still see your clothes still see your face You came in your wheelchair with banana nut cake You hugged me told me you loved me, I smiled and said thanks For everything you did for me, Everything you gave I'm talkin' bout the time not the physical things I mean your traits your place, the spiritual things I mean anything I wanted, you gave me those things 3 o clock in the mornin' fixed me cookies n cremes When I reach heavens gate I'm gonna look for your wings But til then I can't wait to go to sleep when I dream Of you [Hook x4] When I close my eyes I see your face I'm just not sure how much a heart can mean [Verse 2] I mean so much has happened since your gone I can't wait to go to sleep tonight and tell you all about the songs I'm tellin' the world what you did However I can How you raised the kid I was to the man that I am You held me when I was a baby held me when I was grown Let me know that you were there when I felt all alone Your responsible for me havin' the family I have My caring aunts and uncles who made up for my dad You was my valentine you was my Santa Clause You was my clarity when they can't understand at all And I cry sometimes 'cuz I hate you gone But I still get to see you when I see my mom I know you see me and my brothers like I'm proud of y'all They'd see your face if they can peek and just see through my heart And though I wish that you were here I know you see it all 'Cuz you smilin' when we chillin' in my sleep and talk When I dream [Hook x4] When I close my eyes I see your face I'm just not sure how much a heart can mean [Verse 3] Momma you've been my backbone I wanna make that known Even through all the drama I brought it back home You were the strongest woman I ever seen And I respect you for it all even when you was mean I was a teen you still helped me follow my dream Raised 4 kids 4 black men to achieve Who would believe Who would believe You did it all by yourself Mama With no welfare You never asked for help mama You had the lord on your side 'cuz you an angel And sometimes I just can't do nothin' but thank you Sometimes my dreams have me scared that they'll take you It brings me to tears when I think I said I hate you I love my grandma for the fact that she made you And transferred the love into you that she gave you Name where you wanna go and that's where I'll take you You gave me everything that I needed now I'm gon' repay you [Hook x4] When I close my eyes I see your face I'm just not sure how much a heart can mean
