	This is a tender platonic love song... even the heavy-metal engineer got teary-eyed over this one.

	Story Behind the Song Written for someone who'd gotten hurt in a relationship 10 years earlier, and never quite recovered... Lyrics The Having-Not 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. ©2003 JATY Music (ASCAP) - All Rights Reserved
