Clammy little hand on my face
It's 4 a.m., did you know that?
Baby girl, I forgive you

Come and monkey climb on our bed
The milky sweetness on your breath
Made tenderness
Of every sleepless night

Loud bubbling laughter in my ear
When migraine splits my head in two
Baby girl, I love you still

Absent-minded I reach for you
The soft petal kiss on my face
Makes tenderness
Of every small shortcoming
