The Garland Pool - The Candle

Girl you are a perfect child
Precious as can be
But the scare you gave us when you arrived
No father should ever see
No father should ever see

Your mother fought to bring you here
But her labor went too long
By the time they cleared you from her womb
We were praying for you to breath
Praying for you to breath

My hands shield the candle
As I bow my head to pray
The reaper at the door
To take my little girl away
No, no my heart cried
Tell that thing to go
(I did) everything in my power
As the candle flickered low

God, send your angels
God, send your angels
Immediately I weep
to hear her crying voice at last
I'll never take for granted that it passed

And even as I watch you now
That dreadful moment gone
I can feel it somewhere deep inside
I want to shield you from any harm

Sometimes I lay awake at night
And relive that dreadful scene
I forget that everything's alright
I start praying for you to breath
Praying for you to breath

My hands shield the candle
As I bow my head to pray
The reaper at the door
To take my little girl away
No, no my heart cried
Tell that thing to go
(I did) everything in my power
As the candle flickered low

God, send your angels
God, send your angels
Immediately I weep
to hear her crying voice at last
I'll never take for granted that it passed
