I'm not going to quote it entirely, but this song has spoken to me for decades. It's the song I used to sing my daughter while she was going to sleep. Albeit, the song her mother sang to her before she died was better (and is the first tattoo our daughter got).
Sung from a father's lips to a daughter's ears:
Goodnight, my angel
Time to close your eyes
And save these questions for another day
I think I know what
You've been asking me
I think you know
What I've been trying to say
I promised I would never leave you
And you should always know
Wherever you may go
No matter where you are
I never will be far away.
