Little Angel (Lullaby by Michael M. Sailo)

Hook: Little Angel don't you cry I'm gonna sing you a lullaby Were gonna make it through the night so close your weary eyes Little Angel don't you cry I'm gonna give you a rock a bye I'm gonna wake you with the light so close your weary eyes Verse 1: Little angel, I know there's a lot botherin you My conscience tells me this ain't gonna do I don't even know how I'm a get this through But in time you'll understand how we act a fool There were nights when I knelt beside your bed Wishin all the tears you cry were mine instead Held the pillow restin your weary head As I put aside the bed time stories we read At times, I think I failed you as a dad With these memories of the good times we had Picnics as a family of three, shop for candies and Ice Age on DVDs The evenin the doctor pulled out your first cavity Beneath the pillow was a 20 for the tooth fairy But life is such, the ones you love gotta go How come how long I guess we never know I'm a do whatever it takes, through the bends and shakes Bruise and aches and I'm a watch you grow Its scarymaybebaby, you gotta be strong Close your eyes as I play you this song Verse 2: There were nights you couldnt understand When I made you do things after you said you cant Made you stay up late way past your bedtime You kept missin lines from your nursery rhymes And you know though you hated, it left you educated Full marks as stated, you earned it dedicated Never would I leave birthday kisses belated Rest assured together were gonna make it Cherish the moments you wake me every morn Never seem to stop smilin since the day you wuz born I'm sorry you called me at the office the other day The lady had to tell you daddy wuz away The truth is Id rather hear your voice After all you're my little girl, my one and only choice Id rather give you piggy back rides My arms on your side like ain't nothin else left to hide My hands on your tummy make you laugh when you're grumpy Chase you cross the halls like Tom & Jerry And I promise I'm always beside you girl Even long after death, till the end of the world Verse 3: Last night, after the bedtime prayer At the open diary I started to stare Could'nt help but notice, could'nt help but care Little angel, sometimes its hard to bear And I know I'm the reason those tears fall down I see it in your heart when you don't make a sound It didn't work out between me and your mom I could'nt let the separation do you no harm I know it ain't fair of how were both livin Deprive you of love you should be receivin Age don't seem to make nobody wiser Plus with the trauma, we started the drama As grown ups we still do silly things Pride makes us fight over small little things This world that we live in is kinda complicated Few years from now you'd probably understand it Till then I hope you find a reason to smile Though its messed up what parents do to a child And hope you forgive what you're mommy do Deep down in your heart you'd forgive me too
