My Baby Girl

I hold you in my arms

I hold you close

As you cry, my baby girl

These tears bring you back

And I am your mom again,

My baby girl

I stroke back

your long brown hair

to stop it sticking to your cheek

my baby girl

I am not sure

What to think

So long ago

You didn’t want me

My baby girl

Now you sleep close to me

I lock the door

And turn out the light

And keep you safe

Just for tonight

My baby girl
