Sweet Little Girl

Sweet little girl
Don't be afraid
No more harm will come your way

I hate to hear you cry at night
Your little mind
Confused
In fright

Just go to bed
Close your eyes
I know you don't want
Mommy and daddy to hear you cry

Sweet little girl
Don't be afraid
No more harm will come your way

The Monster is gone
It's far away

You can sleep tonight
Tonight you'll be safe

Sweet little girl
Why do you cry?
Please go to bed
Close your eyes

The Monster is gone
There's nothing to fear
Why can't you fall asleep my dear?

Sweet little girl
Don't be afraid
I keep telling you
No more harm will come your way

I'm sorry sweet child
I didn't understand
When you close your eyes
You see that Monster again

But sweet little girl
It's only a dream
Just pray to GOD for prettier things

It's easy sweet child
Just repeat
"And now I lay me down to sleep..."

Sweet little girl
Don't be afraid
I promise
No more harm will come your way

Please stop crying
I know you're confused
I know you're in pain
But if you don't stop
You'll go insane

Sweet little girl
The Monster is gone
I wish we could undo
What that Monster has done

Now come along and follow me
Put those memories in a box
Together-
We'll throw away the key

We'll bury it deep
In the abyss of your soul
Things will get better
As time takes its toll

Sweet little girl
Don't be afraid
No more harm will come your way

I pray you get some rest tonight
Mommy and daddy have tucked you in
Just right

No more tears
Sleep in peace
GOD, please give her
The sweetest dreams
