Rock A Bye Baby

This is about every parent's worst nightmare…
Why are the machines bleeping?
Are you dead or are you sleeping?
My little baby I want you to know
Mummy and daddy love you so

Why is this happening?
You're perfect in everyway
You hear about this all the time
But how can I prepare for this day?

Today we had to let you go
We will never get to see you grow
You were to small, and so weak
I'm finding this hard, hard to speak

I got to hold you but you were dead
You were perfect from your little toes up to your head
It breaks my heart to have to walk away
But I know that up in heaven I will see you, one day

So look down on your family
And know that you were special to daddy and me
We will never forget you ever
You were our first little baby and your picture we will treasure

If we have any other little babies
We will tell about you
And how much we cared
And really loved you
