Little one, close your eyes
dream of catcher mitts and butterflies
Tomorrow brings another day
So close your eyes and dream of play

Little one, rest your head
I will tuck you safely in your bed
The moon is shining in the sky
So rest your head to my lullaby

Little one, lay with me
in your dreams your safe and free
The sandman is coming to your bed tonight
So lay with me and I will hold you tight

Your the greatest gift a father could desire
so full of life, hope and fire
I pray to the lord each and every night
to watch over my child and till the morning light

Little one, help me learn
how to be patient and wait my turn
There are many events that require your time
so help me learn when your time becomes mine

Little one, grow up big and strong
our time together is not long
give me a chance to share my heart
so grow up big and strong, someday we will part

Little one, know my joy
God will bless you with a little boy
He will be just like you, that little child
so know my joy, you made me meek and mild

Your the greatest gift a father could desire
so full of life, hope and fire
I pray to the lord each and every night
to watch over my child and till the morning light
