I'm not going to quote it entirely, but this song has spoken to me for decades. It's the song I used to sing my daughter while she was going to sleep. Albeit, the song her mother sang to her before she died was better (and is the first tattoo our daughter got).

Sung from a father's lips to a daughter's ears:

Goodnight, my angel

Time to close your eyes

And save these questions for another day

I think I know what

You've been asking me

I think you know

What I've been trying to say

I promised I would never leave you

And you should always know

Wherever you may go

No matter where you are

I never will be far away.
