Title: A Stranger In My Arms Writer: Tammy Harrison

As I lay in bed, dreaming of you I hold this pillow so tight. But, it doesn't have the warmth Of your body that I crave.

It doesn't have the heartbeat That I need to hear. It doesn't have the arms I need to hold me close.

But, it has comforted me In the lonely hours of the night. It has absorbed the tears That would fill any ocean.

When I hear your voice Through the telephone wires, I have my head placed on it As if it were your chest.

The day I finally look into your eyes And feel your loving touch, This pillow will have become A stranger in my arms.
