The morning haze, she wakes her dad
He's the only one around to drive
Neighbors watchin' through their window blinds
They see her innocence fade
The silent car, the empty words
How it hurts cause she's his little girl
She made love to a reckless world
Now he knows that she has gone astray
The tears she held are falling down
The thousand sighs
The weeps, the sounds that never go
It's a lullaby
Of an only child
♪
The palest room, the day of hurt
The doctors work to keep her out of harm
A little angel's breathing in her arms
She dreads the letting go
She lays him down, dims the light
Then she looks into his baby eyes
She whispers things that she knows are lies
She can't hold what she can't keep
The tears she held are falling down
The thousand sighs
The weeps, the sounds that never go
It's a lullaby
Of an only child
She holds him one last time
Then signs away his smile
The doctors make her leave
Her dad, he makes her lead
She fears she will be alone
The tears she held are falling down
The thousand sighs
The weeps, the sounds that never go
It's a lullaby
A lullaby
A lullaby
Of an only child
