John Paul's Song

Sleep tight, dear son,
just dream your sweet little dream.
The cares of the world is not for you to see,
you're yet so young and free.

You brought us joy, son,
your papa and your mama;
never felt such happiness like this before,
we're very proud of you.

Your name is John Paul,
wonder why you're named like that?
Well, your name's that of great minstrels
who once made the world stop and sing.

We love you, John Paul,
you made two halves into a whole.
You're such a beautiful boy, formed out of love,
you are all that we have.

Soon you will grow up and be
a man of wit and music.
Until then here's our love and our guiding hand
to show you the way.
