The light is shining in the hall
The clowns are smiling on the wall
So baby dear, why don’t you sleep
Count those endless downy sheep

Your bottle’s filled with tepid milk
Your pillow’s cased in woven silk
Pajamas curl your wriggling toes
Cherry syrup for running nose

Your mobile plays a lullaby
Written so you would not cry
By a poet with heart so strong
Listen to its soothing song

I validate all of your fears
And tell you that I’m always near
There’s nothing that could tear us ‘part
But baby tears can break my heart

So I will rock away your fright
Even if it takes all night
For just a role in your birth
You’re the reason I’m on earth

It's just a shame that Chan is at his granny's tonight.

So much loving tenderness, children are magical.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.
