I can hold you in my arms
Pick you up, cradle you
I promise, I won't drop you
I wouldn't want to make a mess
I know you're eyes are tired
Mine are too, but it's okay
Close your eyes and I'll keep watch
And make sure you're tucked in safe and sound
I hope you dream of heaven's gates
Pearly white at the end of a narrow path
Dusted by angel feathers
And left open so you can stay
I'll stay awake and let you sleep
And you won't see it
But I'll smile when you do
Because I know something you don't
When you open your eyes
I'll still be here, right by your side
And you'll tell me how heaven shines
I'll listen, but I know I've already found mine
