As I watch you sleeping in the night
Arms wrapped around your pillow, oh so tight
Little fingers clutch a furry little toy
Dispelling any daytime myths
That you’re not a little boy

And in the darkness, you beckon me to come
A frightened little boy who wants his mum
Eyes barely open, I stumble to your side
Take you in my arms
Your little body close to mine

You’re the jackpot I never thought I’d win
I get lost when you flash your gap-toothed grin
You make up for all that came before
You’re all I ever wanted, and infinitely more

Oh, I know you’re not perfect…
But when it comes down to it – who is?
When you’re the best you that you can be
For me it’s simply bliss

And as I watch you sleeping in the night
In darkness broken by a little light
I say a silent prayer, wishing this could last
Wishing that my little boy
Would not grow up so fast
