Don't you know I love you more than life itself

Don't you know that you're my pride

And I would not have you walking through this world

Without me by your side

Go to sleep my little man

Don't you weep my little man

I'd like to keep you with me all your life

But I know I can't do that

So I must try teaching you the wrong from right

To keep the vulture from your back

And when you're dreaming

You can talk to angels

So wipe the tears from your eyes

And if there's demons that try to steal your breath away

You can't believe that know my spirit will be standing by your side

You saved me

You gave me

The greatest gift of all

Believe me

Believe me

There ain't no mountain that's too tall

I will gladly carry your cross for you

To take your pain away

But what I can't carry is my love for you

Beyond my dying day
