I want to sing a lullaby,

and put you to sleep;

tuck you in blankets,

and rock you deep.

I want to kiss your lids,

and hug you close;

tickle you senseless,

and flick your nose.

I want to lie next to you,

and palm your chest;

listen to your breaths,

and never leave this nest.

you are my sweetheart,

you are my dear,

you are the love of my life,

and my little pear.

don't ever let go of me...
