SLEEP NOW, BABY GIRL
Sleep now, Baby Girl
Don't you be afraid
This is not the end for you
Your memory will not fade
It's almost over, Baby Girl
We shall keep your ashes close
Within our loving arms at night
For that's when we'll miss you most
It won't hurt, Baby Girl
It was a hard choice that we made
But only your beautiful shell will go
So that your beauty cannot fade
Be at peace now, Baby Girl
Know that you are not alone
For a part of us went with you
The day God took you home
Rest now, Baby Girl
Let the Angels hold you tight
They will take good care of you
Until you visit our dreams each night
Spread your wings now, Baby Girl
Fly high for all you're worth
For you are free sweet Baby Girl
From troubles here on earth
Worry not now, Baby Girl
For we will meet again
We know that you will wait for us
We'll be together then
We will get through this, Baby Girl
We know that you're not gone
For Angels cannot ever die
Within us you live on
Play happily, Baby Girl
For tragic as this seems
You'll always be within the memories
Of all our hopes and dreams
Hush now, Baby Girl
For we could never part
We are connected by an invisible cord
That leads straight to our hearts
Remember always, Baby Girl
In Mummy's tummy you fell asleep
So there you'll stay, and in our hearts
So hush now, don't you weep
Smile and laugh, sweet Baby Girl
You were just too perfect for this world
So let Heaven's peace embrace you
Be our happy little girl
Walk with us often, Baby Girl
Lead us through the dark
Help us to see the sun again
Let it warm our broken hearts
We promise you, Baby Girl
You'll never be forgotten
We are surrounded by all things Summer
We'll be thinking of you often
We miss you, Baby Girl
We hold each other every night
But long before we even met
We longed to hold you tight
We love you, Baby Girl
We wanted you so much
A hole will stay within our hearts
Where your tiny footprints touched
But sleep now, Baby Girl
Let our love hold you tight
We shall never say goodbye
But for now, Baby Girl, goodnight
