Promise In Her Eyes

(hummmmm) She sits beside the hospital frame

Tracing the lines of my

hand

She asks "Daddy, will you be okay?"

Before I can even

stand

And I say yes,

you know I will

Just close your eyes and rest

While the machines are hummung low

And beating inside my

chest

Her small fingers hold on so tight

Believing the lie

that I spun

To keep out the chill of the night

For my sweet and innocent one

How do you say goodbye

To the one who made you whole?

With a smile on your face

And a fracture in your soul

I say yes, I will be fine (ohhh)

Go on

to sleep, my love
