The Heartbeat
Every night when i'm laying my head to rest
and i hear your heartbeat on my chest
lets me know that i'm doing alright
i thought i lost you in that hospital room
when they couldn't find a beat
it scared me to death and my heart skipped
we all seen the line and thought you were dead
But that night i looked up
and within the tears running down my cheek
i saw an angel watching over him and me
she looked at me and smiled then flew away
i looked at my baby and saw him awake
I didn't know what to believe
but i saw that angel in front of me
i thank her every night i lay my head to say goodnight
cause the beat i feel on my chest
is in my arms and not laid to rest
My baby just turned 5 today
his heart beat had faded away
but i'm glad i got all i could get with him
for the angel who saved him has taken him
but before he went he said to me
the angel you saw i can now see
she is standing right in front of me
goodbye mommy and i love you daddy
