Lullabies

Daddy, please don’t look so sad, Mama please don’t cry 
Cause I am in the arms of Jesus and he sings me lullabies. 

Please try not to question god, Don’t think he is unkind, 
Don’t think He sent me to you, and then he changed his mind. 

You see I am a special child, and I’m needed up above, 
I’m the special gift you gave him. The product of your love, 

I’ll always be there with you so watch the sky at night, 
Find the brightest star that’s gleaming, it’s my halo’s brilliant light. 

You’ll see me in the morning frost that mists your window pane, 
That’s me in the summer showers I’ll be dancing in the rain. 

When you feel a little breeze from a gentle wind that blow, 
That’s me I’ll be there planning a kiss on your nose. 

When you see a child playing and your heart feels a little tug, 
that’s me I’ll be there giving your heart a hug. 

So Daddy Please Don’t look so sad, Mama don’t you cry. 
I’m in the arms of Jesus and He sings me lullabies.
