lyrics

Go to sleep now baby boy
and have the most amazing dreams
don’t be afraid of the darkness
the darkness isn’t what it seems

and you will sing yourself awake
and you and I will start the day
you’ll tell me stories as we walk
about the man you want to be someday

so baby listen to your mother
keep your nose clean and take good care of your brother
and if you need me, just know that this is true
angels are watching over you

baby boy I know you’re tired
just lay your head down here to rest
of all of the loves I ever had
you and your brother were my best

and I look down on you now
so sweet and funny, loud and brave
I know that you will never stop
because there’s always lives to save

so baby listen to your mother
keep your gun clean and take good care of your brother
and if you feel the world is ending no matter what you do, just know
angels are watching over you

oh baby boy you’re finally home
I dreamt for so long of this day
to finally hold you in my arms
and know that you are here to stay

and now we’re all here safe and sound
just the way the world should be
and every friend who kept you safe
now we are all a family

so baby listen to your mother
come stand beside me, with your father and your brother
and bring that angel, with the coat and the eyes of blue
I want to thank him
he’s the angel who watched over you
