baby girl every time i tuck you in i think
you wont be little that much longer
every time i spread that blanket over you
your toes stick out the end a little more
sweet girl when you toddle in my room
and into my arms
scold though i might
oh i am glad to hold you
knowing soon you wont need me
to carry you to bed and tuck you in
so if i walk slowly as i whisper
goodnight again sweet dreams
lay your head on my shoulder
wont you please
let that curl fall on your cheek
the way it always does
and one more time in my arms
drift off to sleep
Beautiful girl and beautiful words. Makes me teary!
