Sweet Lullaby
Precious, tiny gift from heaven
A miracle from above
So soft and quiet, and ever sweet
With tiny hands, and pretty little feet
You are so peaceful, so perfectly lovely
Like the dew from a quiet storm
Like a candle in the deepest night
Or a lovely, flowery morn
With a quiet strength, you stir my soul
Like no one else I’ve ever known
I never knew I could love so deeply
Or give my heart away completely
You’ve captured my heart
And stolen my soul
I’m wrapped around your tiny finger
So I’m singing you this sweet lullaby
To calm you as you’re sleeping
Good night my precious little one
The angels, your soul will be keeping
A miracle from above
So soft and quiet, and ever sweet
With tiny hands, and pretty little feet
You are so peaceful, so perfectly lovely
Like the dew from a quiet storm
Like a candle in the deepest night
Or a lovely, flowery morn
With a quiet strength, you stir my soul
Like no one else I’ve ever known
I never knew I could love so deeply
Or give my heart away completely
You’ve captured my heart
And stolen my soul
I’m wrapped around your tiny finger
So I’m singing you this sweet lullaby
To calm you as you’re sleeping
Good night my precious little one
The angels, your soul will be keeping
