Just for

This one is dedicated to my little sister who had a near death asthma attack when she was younger…
Just for this morning I will give you a kiss when you get up
and let you hug me as long and much as you want to

Just for this morning I won’t yell if you wake me up again
and I’ll leave the computer to take you to the park

Just for this afternoon I’ll bake cookies with you
and I’ll let you lick the spoon

Just for this afternoon I’ll play lots of make-believe games with you
And eat ice cream till we’re sick

Just for this afternoon I’ll lay outside on the cold ground with you
till we freeze then I’ll cuddle by the fire with you

Just for tonight I’ll lay with you till you fall asleep

Just for tonight I’ll run my fingers through your hair
and I’ll sing you to sleep
