The Sleep Of Angels

​

I see you there
My lovely child, my angel
Lying there all alone
My love is reaching out for you

​

I watch you sleep
As dreams absorb your memories
Your smile defends the peace
That’s shining from the innocence of your face

​

And as you grow
We’ll go through life together
I’ll share your hopes and fears
And all the aspirations of your heart

​

We’ll travel far
Beyond imagination
To places where we’ll learn
How very fortunate you really are

​

I’ll tell you things
Of life and love and beauty
You’ll carry with you
Far beyond the ending of my days

​

And when I’m old
You’ll care for me forever
And tell me worry not
Cause you, you are grown up now

​

And I’ll look down
As you kiss my sleeping grandchild
And stand and watch awhile
Remembering what it was like for you

​

​I see you there
My lovely child, my angel
Standing there all alone
My love is reaching out for you
Oh, my love, is reaching out for you
Oh, my love, is reaching out for you
