While she drank her bottle and slowly started to drift off to sleep I softly sang ‘Angels to Watch over You.’
When you go to bed at night
And you turn off all your lights;
In the dark and out of sight,
There's angels to watch over you.
Later on when you've gone to sleep,
Take me off to the land of dreams;
Guarding you and your family,
Angels to watch over you.
God sends his angels to watch over you,
And give you love to see you through.
There's angels to watch over you.
And if far away from home
And you feel like you're on your own;
No need to worry, you're not alone,
There's angels to watch over you.
When it seems like no-one cares,
Just remember who hears your prayers;
Right beside you, they're always there,
Angels to watch over you.
God sends his angels to watch over you,
And give you love to see you through,
There's Angels to watch over you.
God sends his angels to watch over you,
And give you love to see you through,
Angels to watch over you.
Watching you.
The song was always one of my favourites. Mum used to sing it to me all this time. Now it’s time for me to sing it to my little girl.
