Story behind the song

Met somene who'd gotten the heart stepped on some ten years past, and hadn't let anyone near since...

Lyrics

We all have fears of losing what we’ve got
You know what’s worse than losing?  It’s the having-not.
We all have scars that mar us, even now.
You never quite recover; It’s always one thing or another,
But you know you’ve got to love again, some how.
	Don’t you fantasize, don’t you cry those eyes to sleep
	Don’t you hold on to that hollow, empty lover of your dreams
	Reach deep inside your heart, you’ll find a place to start again
	And I will be waiting for you,
	Ready to hold you tight when your night comes to an end

In a dream, I saw you weaving chains of flowers
I looked again and you were standing tall, in your ivory tower
I gazed out from my fortress made of sand
The chain remained unbroken - One last surviving token
Of a love you thought you’d found, but never had.
	Don’t you fantasize, don’t you cry those eyes to sleep
	Don’t you hold on to that pillow, that empty lover of your dreams
	Reach deep inside your heart, you’ll find a place to start again
	And I will be waiting for you,
	Ready to hold you tight when your night comes to an end

So close your eyes, I’ll sing you now to sleep
May you slumber like a baby - All your dreams will be sweet!
Forget the past - He can’t touch you anymore.
Then I tuck you in the covers, cause you still love another
Just one kiss... and then I softly... close the door.
Don’t you fantasize, don’t you cry those eyes to sleep
	Don’t you hold on to that hollow, empty lover of your dreams
	Reach deep inside your heart, you’ll find a place to start again
	And I will be waiting for you,
	Ready to hold you tight when your night comes to an end

We all have fears of losin’ what we’ve got.
You know what’s worse than losin’?  
It’s the having-not.
Spoken:  Sleep well, baby.
