Sweet sweet baby, close your eyes
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Sweet sweet baby close your eyes
The sun has gone and now it's night.
Sweet sweet baby, close your eyes
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Sweet sweet baby close your eyes
The stars are out, the moon shines bright.
Sweet sweet baby, close your eyes
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Sweet sweet baby close your eyes
Drift to sleep, let your dreams take flight.
Sweet sweet baby, close your eyes
Close your eyes, close your eyes
I just put Jaxon down for a nap; and usually it never fails that if I sing this lullaby to him he falls fast asleep. I have never shared these words before; they are very precious to me and I treasure them deeply. When Jaxon was in the NICU I had an overwhelming desire to sing to this tiny little baby of mine, but for the life of me I could never remember all the words to the old lullabys. So one day I just held him and made one up. It is very repetitive and very alto, but it is our song and I love sharing it with him. Every time I sing it to him I am consumed with emotions as I can't help but think of how far this, still so little, boy has come in such a short amount of time. He is our miracle and both Eric and I could not feel more blessed to have him in our life. We are so thankful that God has entrusted him to us and has allowed us to have him in our life. Being a parent is hard, it is demanding, it is miraculous and it is beautiful.
