When You Sleep

Paddy Kelly

so patiently they wait
for the given birth date
while buying clothes 
and dipers
through modern technology
they watch so carefully
the growing little fingers

good night miracle
of love
sleep tight, I'll sing you a lullaby

after nine months
in the womb
you were finally
born in June
a new member in 
the family
at the fire they sit
you're lying in
the cribb
rocked by mom and daddy

good night miracle
of love
sleep tight,I'll sing you a lullaby

cause when you sleep
you look like an angel
you look like 
an angel to me
oh when you sleep
you look like an angel
you look like an 
angel to me

a fever since yesterday
new teeth are on 
their way
the growing pains 
have started
every minute that
you live 
is a miracle God gives
the heavens are delighted

good night miracle 
of love
sleep tight, I 'll
sing you a lullaby
oh when you sleep
you look like an angel 
you look like an angel to me
oh when you sleep
you look like an angel
you look like an
angel to me
oh when you sleep

our hardened hearts melted like wax
the day you came into our lives
enchanted by your laughing cracks
and very soon you'll
be baptised

miracle of love,
sleep tight
I'll sing you a lullaby

cause when you sleep
you look like an angel
you look like
an angel to me
oh when you sleep
you look like an angel
you look like 
an angel to me
oh when you sleep
