Hold My Heart

(mmmmm) I used to tuck you in at night

Keep the shadows from your eyes

Now the machines are breathing for you

Underneath these sterile skies

Sleep now my beautiful boy

Let the heavy world fade away

I'll hold your hand in the quiet

Until the break of day

Your favorite toy is on the chair

I touch the curls upon your brow

I'd give my life to hear you laugh

But it's so quiet now (oh

my son)

If I could pull you from the deep

I'd carry you all the way home

But you are drifting off to sleep

And I must let you go

Goodnight my sweet angel (shhh)
