Precious Gift

Little hands and little feet.
A precious gift for us to keep.

Close your eyes and dream sweet dreams;
of candy canes and choo choo trains.

Little Angel, spread your wings and fly.
Mother will sing you a lullaby.

Like a thief in the night; you stole my heart.
A prisoner of love, Till death due we part.

Little hands and little feet. 
A precious gift for us to keep.
