I thought I heard you crying,
somewhere in my mind.
I searched around in vain,
for you I could not find.
I thought I felt a touch,
one day upon my cheek.
Turning to see who it was,
but no one was there to seek.
I thought I saw your face,
up there among the clouds.
But then the wind blew across,
as I called your name out loud.
I thought I dreamed you were here,
and to you I spoke.
Then morning came and I realized,
I was alone as I awoke.
I thought of how at peace you are,
in Heaven oh so mild.
And so now I will finally let you go,
my darling little child.
