10 + 2

I dreamt of you last night

We were laughing and talking

I made fun of you like old-times

You said the coffee Mom made was better than mine

I smell your old cologne

Like I was inside the bottle

And your face was as clear as daylight

Saying you were not made up in my mind

Remember the little monsters

Oh I'd lay in your arms 'till I was 10 + 2

Pretending to sleep so you would carry me

All the way to bed

I'd wait on the stairs 'cause you'd be working late

Working harder than I could ever appreciate

But I see it now

I see you my eyes

Or when I'm planning the future

Or when I'm critical over every detail

Being just what I want and that I won't fail

Remember the little monsters

Oh I'd lay in your arms 'till I was 10 + 2

Pretending to sleep so you would carry me

All the way to bed

I'd wait on the stairs 'cause you'd be working late

Working harder than I could ever appreciate

But I see it now
