I saw you in my dream last night
You had your smile so white
I thought your teeth were the stars
Your eyes, they were like tiny rivers
Well, it gave me the shivers when you looked right up at me
We never got to say a goodbye
We never sat down and cried and watched each others' tears fall out
So I never got a chance to tell you
Just exactly how well you carved your home in my heart
You can stay here a while in this hotel heart
People come and people go all the time
I'll never let it get cold or dark or crowded
I'll never turn out the light
I bet you thought I'd be much smaller
Well, I've gotten much taller
My legs are like trees in the ground
My branches are my tiny fingers
Well, they've gotten much bigger
They reach out for so much more
Say you'll stay here a while in this hotel heart
People come and people go every day
I'll never let it get cold or dark or crowded
I'll never give your spot away
I like to think you still can hear me
That you're listening clearly to all the words I start
'Cause I never got a chance to tell you just exactly how well you carved your home in my heart.
