Sweet Sleeping Child
Sweet sleeping child
What a beautiful sight
Dreams running wild
A future oh so bright
In the calm night
No worries to be found
You are my light
In my arms safe and sound
I gaze away
Ponder Heaven on Earth
Thank Him, I pray
Your miraculous birth
A Mother's love
Unwavering and pure
Gift from above
This blessed child I'm sure
Peace comes to me
Sweet sleeping child of mine
A soul I see
Beautiful and divine
Worth more than gold
So innocent and free
My heart you hold
Forever, my baby
My saving grace
My purpose for living
A sweet embrace
I'll always be giving
My little one
I'll protect you, sleep tight
My moon, my sun
You are all that is right
So fast you'll grow
In a blink of an eye
Before you know
Time will zip right on bye
So rest right here
Let me hold you awhile
and keep you near
My sweet, sweet sleeping child
