I love to watch you sleep In the quiet of the night I start to feel that you're part of me The strength and the light And I relive all the moments Now the moon has chased the sun And I memorize each moment of my precious little one My precious little one
I love to watch you sleep And seeing you just be I feel I'm part of something so much greater than just me And I thought that I was living, but my life had just begun Now I understand the greater plan My precious little one My precious little one
I love to watch you sleep When the night is still aglow I think of my own father watching me those years ago And I know that I am part of him The rain and the sun And I see there's part of both of us in my precious little one
But your own heart beats inside your chest You'll go on and find the one And someday you'll be watching your own precious little one
