Sweetest Angel

Andrew & Lyla...my favorite photo (so far) of my loves...

The first few nights after we brought home Lyla from the hospital I kept finding this Jonatha Brooke song, "Sweetest Angel" stuck in my head....probably because I kept calling her (and still do) "my little angel."  I finally decided to download it (while I LOVE Jonatha, I wasn't a huge fan of this album, 'The Works,' so I didn't own any songs from it) and the words really do sound like a lullaby to baby.  So sweet.  Kinda makes me teary-eyed every time I listen to it now.  [Ah, postpartum hormones!]

Every night about eight o'clock

I wind the stem of my little clock

And when I look in the crystal glass

I see a lot of faces pass

Of those I knew

And those I know

And you now coming

And you to go

Here's a word I'd like to whisper

And I'd like to have you listen

All this world is made of love

You are fresh from heaven above

You're the sweetest angel in this world

You're the sweetest angel 

When I hold you by your hand

I'm in my happy promised land

When I kiss you in the dark

I'm just happy as a lark

So let me come as close as I can

And lay me down beside you

Here's a word I'd like to whisper

And I'd like to have you listen

All this world is made of love

You are fresh from heaven above

You're the sweetest angel in this world

You're the sweetest angel 

So let me come as close as I can

Let me bring my scattered pages

Let me lay down here beside you

Tonight, and I will whisper

All this world is made of love

You are fresh from heaven above

You're the sweetest angel in this world

You're the sweetest angel 

Hope you all have a lovely weekend!  I'll be spending mine with this little angel and couldn't be more happy about it!
