Love When I Sleep
As I lay you on my chest to pat your little back,
I realize for you and me there's no turning back
You are my gift from god, sent from the heavens above
You have filled my heart with an abundance of love
As I feel your cheek press against mine
I am so very certain that you are divine
Then as I hear your breath in my ear, I feel the lump
in my throat, as I choke back a tear
So I kiss your little hands, your arms and your little feet
Oh, Madison God has made you so sweet
You have filled a space in my heart so deep
As I lay my head down,
I'll feel love when I sleep
