While God Sleeps Soundly
I wake from dreams where terrors creep
I wake to realize I'm not asleep
No - little girls don't sleep at night
They strain their ears - eyes wide with fright
With hopes of hearing Angels fly
Oh please dear God - PLEASE not tonight
But only my pillow hears me call-While God sleeps soundly thru it all
Rock-a-bye baby - please don't cry - Daddies gonna sing you a lull-a-bye
I hear his footsteps down the hall
His breath I smell thru door - thru wall
His laughter echoes in my mind
I close my eyes so I'll be blind
Hush sweet darling - don't make a sound
or daddies gonna knock you round and around
Open mouth - but silence falls
Screams go unheard thru lonely walls
No one hears me - daddy don't
No one hears me - mama won't
Only my pillow hears me call - While god sleeps soundly thru it all
Rock-a-bye sweet child - now don't you fear - CUZ DADDIES GONNA LOVE YOU FOR YEARS AND YEARS.
