My Child

Peacefully you are sleeping

Silently you dream

And I cannot help but feel blessed

While watching you

Your eyes, my eyes

Your smile, my smile

Your love, my gain

Your hurt, my pain

Your laugh, my joy

Every time it's mine, you are my child

I will always protect you

Oh and I will even let you go

I'll spend the sweetest time holding you

And I will let you grow

Your eyes, my eyes

Your smile, my smile

Your love, my gain

Your hurt, my pain

Your laugh, my joy

Every time it's mine, you are my child

Don't ever be afraid, don't ever be afraid

'Cause I am here and if you start to fear

Just close your eyes and hear me say

Your love, my gain

Your hurt, my pain

Your laugh, my joy

Every time it's mine, you are my child
