Close To My Heart
I'll keep you safe little girl, there's no need for that frown
Let's wrap you up in my towel, and dry your hair, dripping down
Come here, please don't cry, this is where you should be
The waves are too high. Here, ... sit close to me....
You shiver and shake,....but let us soak in the sun
Some castles we'll make, while the warmth holds your hand
Let's lie down in the sand, make an angel, with wings
Spread our arms, opened wide, and we'll hear lullabies
Let's get warm for awhile and put tears far away
Exchange them for smiles, until the end of the day
The moon is a pearl, for the sun must depart
Curl into my arms, and just stay close to my heart
When it's time to go home, and the stars say goodnight
I will tuck you in bed, and kiss your sweet head
When the new morning comes, we will come to the shore
And Mr. Sun will shine down, on the child he adores
