I had a little angel I held her in my arms that night I didn't want to say goodbye I held on to her tight I stroked her face I kissed her hair I looked at her just lying there And as a mother I felt defeat as my tears trickledΒ Β down upon her cheek There was nothing I could do Nothing I could say To stop fates hand from taking her away As she took her last breath and let out a sigh A part of me began to die I felt my heart shatter the pain was slow As I grieved for the child I'd never know Her pram was empty the nursery bare I was left just with a vacant stare I had no emotion didn't know how to feel Didn't want to sleep In case the nightmare was reall My body carried on but I wasn't there Left just with a vacant stare Heard her cries but awoke to find An empty cot just a trick of the mind .........
