I sing you a song
while you sleep
next to me.
My dreams have changed
to include you
and no one dares
compare to you, I swear
It's true.
We celebrate
this precious life
that we have made.
It won't be long
till you are grown
spread your wings
I'll watch you fly away
from here.
And I will shield you from the rain
and she will guide you through the pain
and you will carry on the best of us.
And when I'm gone
remember me.
And all the songs
sing to her.
When you have one
and no one here
even though my time is done.
And I will shield you from the rain
and she will guide you through the pain
and you will carry on the best of us.
