John Mayer - Dreaming With a Broken Heart
Fransje , a 16 year old girl , got hit by a car while driving home for dinner on her scooter.
The ambulance and trauma helicopter arrived at the scene , but were not able to resuscitate her.
I did not know her in person , but I know her parents , and her older brother and sister : the nicest , kindest people you can imagine.
Their lives go on , heartbroken.
My heart broke too , when I received the news of this tragic accident : a parents' worst nightmare became their reality.
This song makes me think of them.....
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
You roll out of bed and down on your knees
And for a moment, you can hardly breathe
Wondering, "Was she really here?
Is she standing in my room?"
No, she's not
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The giving up is the hardest part
She takes you in, with her crying eyes
Then, all at once, you have to say goodbye
Wondering, "Could you stay , my love?
Will you wake up by my side?"
No, she can't
'Cause she's gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
Now, do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hands?
Now, do I have to fall asleep with roses in my hand?
Do I have to fall asleep with roses in my, roses in my hands?
And would you get them if I did?
No you won't
'Cause you're gone, gone, gone, gone, gone
When you're dreaming with a broken heart
The waking up is the hardest part
