When the sun stes in this ageless sky
I'll wipe your tears, kiss them dry
And as I kneel beside your bed and sing you to your sleep
I pray to God, your hopes I'll keep
While your gently sleeping, peaceful dreaming
I pray that nothing ever haunts you, baby
Wrap your innocence around you
As you look out of the window of your world
What do you see? Tell me!
Your trusting eyes are full of wonder and delight
To share with me, so free
You're my precious angel, sweet, sweet angel
I was lost until I found you, baby
Wrap your innocence around you
Deep down in my soul, oh I know, yes I know that you're on loan
One day you will fly away
You are my angel and I thank my God that each and every day
He allows me to share you till you go away
Deep down in my soul, oh I know, yes I know that you're on loan
Deep down in my soul, all I know, yes I know that you're on loan
For you I would hold up the sky
You are my angel and I thank my God for each and every day
He allows me to share you until you go away
