Never Wake a Sleeping Baby

A wee bit of heaven drifted down from above.

A handful of happiness, a heart full of love.

The mystery of life, so sacred and sweet.

The giver of joy so deep and complete.

Precious and priceless, so lovable, too

The world's sweetest miracle baby is you.

Blessings come in many shapes,
In sizes large and small,
But a brand new little baby
is the sweetest of them all.

Why didn't someone tell me how fast a baby grows,
That every little baby stage soon comes, but sooner goes.

So I'll enjoy the fleeting time before you learn to walk.
And treasure every tiny noise before you learn to talk.

In a world that's all brand-new,
Babies have so much to do!

Laughing, making funny faces,
Finding out those ticklish places . . .

Cuddling up and wiggling toes,
Looking cute in tiny clothes . . .

Tasting, touching, reaching high,
Crawling under, scooting by . . .

Learning words and having fun . . .
Making memories one by one.

Sleep, my child, and peace attend thee,
All through the night Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night soft the drowsy hours are creeping,
Hill and dale in slumber sleeping I my loved ones' watch am keeping,
All through the night
