(Verse)
Sweetest little baby mine,
The angels came today.
They carried you to heaven
So very far away.
But mama has some lullabies
I'll sing beneath the trees,
And if you listen closely
You'll hear them on the breeze.
(Chorus)
Watch over me my baby
In your tiny angel wings,
And think upon your mama
When the weeping willow sings.
(Verse)
Jesus now is holding you
In His all loving arms
I know I shouldn't worry-
You will not come to harm.
But mama has some lullabies
She needs to sing to you-
So I'm pleading with You, Lord;
Please let my songs get through.
(Chorus)
Watch over me my baby
In your tiny angel wings,
And think upon your mama
When the weeping willow sings.
(Verse)
The stars are out now baby,
It's time to say goodnight.
I so wish I could hold you
And say that all is right.
But I will sing a lullaby
To lull you in to sleep-
Knowing that my Jesus has
You safely in His keep.
(Chorus)
Watch over me my baby
In your tiny angel wings
And think upon your mama
When the weeping willow sings.
