I found pure love the day you were born,
I promised to love you forever.
You taught me to love like never before.
I was to teach you all I know
You taught me everything I didn’t know
I planned to protect you
But you showed me peace and no reason to fear.
My life began over the day you were born
I promised to teach you to live a full life
You gave me new reasons to live
I vowed to make you laugh and smile
But you taught me the true meaning of joy.
I planned to raise you gentle but strong
You showed me true courage and strength.
I promised to guide and protect you my whole life long
Now you are the one watching over me
Until we meet again.
Lullabye
by Billy Joel
Goodnight, my angel time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what you’ve been asking me
I think I know what you’ve been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away
Goodnight my angel, now it’s time to sleep
And still so many things I want to say
Remember all the songs you sang for me
When we went sailing on an emerald bay
And like a boat out on the ocean
I’m rocking you to sleep
The water’s dark
And deep inside this ancient heart
You’ll always be a part of me
Goodnight my angel, now it’s time to dream
And dream how wonderful your life will be
Someday your child may cry
And if you sing this lullabye
Then in your heart
There will always be a part of me
Someday we’ll all be gone
But lullabyes go on and on…
They never die
