Babies If I Didn't Have You [*] Lyrics - Love Over And Over - Kate & Anna Mcgarrigle

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
