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
