The Best of Us

I sing you songs
While you sleep
Next to me
My dreams have changed
To include you
And no one dares
Compare to you
I swear
It’s true
We celebrate
This precious life
That we have made
It won’t be long
Till you are grown
Spread your wings
I’ll watch you fly away
From here
And I will shield you from the rain
And she will guide you through the pain
And you will carry on the best of us
And when I’m gone
Remember me
And all our songs
Sing to her
When you have one
And no I’m here
Even though my time is done
And I will shield you from the rain
And she will guide you through the pain
And you will carry on the best of us
