00:13At the death of the night, when I can't sleep but roll on the bed
00:26I gently cool his soft hand, place his tender palm on the lines of my forehead
00:40In that blissful touch, in flawless affection, I transcend to a world I had almost forgotten
01:08And I place his fingers on my eyes To see unseen colors in my life he brought
01:22With his crayons, ties, alone skies, crafts, paints, dresses, and white ones
01:41Then I place this palm on my ears To hear his mother shout at him
01:55Teachers warning him, let his grandma scream But I neither raise my voice, nor do I grin
02:17I place his hand on my nose I smell strawberries in yogurt
02:31And I cry To bury my worries then and there
02:43And smell the sense of letting can clay
02:56When my thorny beard tickles his palm And he smiles in his sleek
03:11It's time to say goodnight And kiss his head
03:19Tuck it to his belly Before the arms beat
03:32I saw my childhood again I saw my childhood again
03:38Though as a short beat I close my eyes tight And sail the moment
03:54To dream a dream Before I crawl to sleep
04:03To dream a dream Before I crawl to sleep
04:22You
