while god sleeps soundly

I wake from dreams where terrors creep
I wake to realize I'm not asleep
No - little girls don't sleep at night
They strain their ears - eyes wide with fright
With hopes of hearing Angels fly

Oh please dear God - PLEASE not tonight

But only my pillow hears me call             While God sleeps soundly thru it all

Rock-a-bye baby - please don't cry - Your Daddies gonna sing you a lull-a-bye

I hear his footsteps down the hall
His breath I smell thru door - thru wall
His laughter echoes in my mind
I close my eyes so I'll be blind

Hush sweet darling - don't make a sound - or daddies gonna knock you  round and around

Open mouth - but silence falls
Screams go unheard thru lonely walls
No one hears me - daddy don't
No one hears me - mama won't

Only my pillow hears me call -  While god sleeps soundly thru it all

Rock-a-bye sweet child - now don't you fear - CUZ DADDIES GONNA LOVE YOU FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
