Sweet Angel Fair

Sweet angel fair sent from above;
Your smile invokes all my love,
With your favorite teddy bear;
You meet all and show you care.
Now, fast asleep and safe from harm;
I cradle you within my arm,
My beating heart is what you are;
And my shining star.

Songs you sing to greet the day;
I'll have it not any other way,
And when it rains, you do not frown;
Knowing the rainbow soon comes down,
A special promise from on high;
So colorful across the sky,
But pale it is compared to you;
And all you do.

You view the World with Daddy's eyes;
And smile like Mommy, 'tis no surprise,
For I remember when she was three;
She sang and smiled much like thee,
But that was quite some time ago;
And I was younger too, you know,
And we would sit and talk of dreams;
Like it was yesterday, it seems.

So stay with me, dear Heaven-sent;
Our times together soon will be spent,
For you will fly my little nest;
To lead your life, 'For the Best'.
But until then, selfish I be;
Sweet Angel Fair, stay here with me!
Lost am I without your smile;
For just a while.
