lyrics

Tuck them in and they will
say goodnight and then the
dreams will take over from there.

Now I lay me down to
sleep, I pray the lord to watch and guard me through the night.

Bright-eyed and full of chance,
the slightest smile is time to dance.
They’ll run so fast
and run right back to you.

But if they run
and don’t circle round
and drift to sleep beneath the ground,
know that they’ll keep running back to you.

Lace their shoes and see they
look like you and have your spirit with them all the time.

Their little feet leave footprints in the snow
and kids fall down, you pick them up.

The hearts are broken
and the footprints are gone.
The dance has gone quiet
and we hear no songs.

But those bright eyes
and the dreams they had
they say goodnight.
Those tiny hands
they hold on to you.

How do we move on from here?
Where do we go? What do we say?
They said they love you. You hugged them tight.
Tiny hands,
They’ve said goodnight.
