Daddy, please don’t look so sad,
\nMama please don’t cry,
\nCause I am in the arms of Jesus
\nand He sings me lullabies.<\/p>\n
Please, try not to question God,
\nDon’t think he is unkind.
\nDon’t think He sent me to you,
\nand then He changed his mind.<\/p>\n
You see, I am a special child,
\nand I’m needed up above.
\nI’m the special gift you gave Him;
\nthe product of your love.<\/p>\n
I’ll always be there with you
\nand watch the sky at night.
\nFind the brightest star that’s gleaming,
\nThat’s my halo’s brilliant light.<\/p>\n
You’ll see me in the morning frost
\nthat mists your window pane.
\nThat’s me in the summer showers;
\nI’ll be dancing in the rain.<\/p>\n
When you feel a little breeze
\nfrom a gentle wind that blows,
\nThat’s me, I’ll be there
\nplanting a kiss upon your nose.<\/p>\n
When you see a child playing
\nand your heart feels a little tug,
\nThat’s me, I’ll be there,
\ngiving your heart a hug.<\/p>\n
So Daddy, please don’t look so sad,
\nMama please don\u2019t cry.
\nI’m in the arms of Jesus
\nand He sings me lullabies.<\/p>\n
