Last Night

Julie Doiron


Last night, I held you in my arms and
I started to cry,
and you looked up and squeezed your hands 
onto my head like you knew why. 

Today I fly across the ocean. 
I will be away 20 days.
And I didn't know I would be like this, 
'cause I'd be away 20 days. 

Tomorrow, I'll be on a stage and 
I will sing the words from all of the pages. 
I will close my eyes in front of all the people. 
I will close my eyes thinking of you. 

But, last night, I held you in my arms and 
I started to cry,
and you looked up and squeezed your hand
onto my head like you knew why.
And it was so right.
