"This Is A Love Song..."

A beautiful love song from an entertainingly ridiculous film...

"I'll wake you up when I get home"

Charlie Rich

Spent the day just missing you remembering your touch 

Counting all the reasons why I love you oh so much 

In my thoughts your always with me, every hour, every day 

And if I could be with you right now here's what I'd love to say 

I'll wake you up, when I get home 

I know you won't care what time it is 

Cause I've been gone, so very long 

And honey I've got so much love to give 

You know our bed is big and lonesome, 

When your sleeping all alone 

I'm your man and you're my woman 

I'll wake you up, when I get home 

There's a nightlight in the bedroom you left it on so I could see 

When I turn the sheets back you'll be waiting there for me 

I dream each night when we're apart I'm making love to you 

Now I'll wake you up, and hold you close, and make our dreams come true

Although this song is incredibly "hetero-normative," I fell in love with the sentiments it expresses from the moment I heard it for the first time as young boy in 1978.  I dreamed for many years of loving someone and being loved this way.  I always left the light on in the bedroom...
