The tears burn my eyes as I watch you sleep The drugs they've induced have taken you deep Are dreams of Daddy dancing through your head? Is Mommy singing as you lay in bed? Won't you open your eyes and smile for us? I promise you we won't make a big fuss Give Mom and Dad that crooked little grin Show that bastard that he's not gonna win It hurts like hell to see you in this state I'm only human and don't know your fate You look so small in that hospital bed If only I could take your place instead Less than two years of your life has gone by And now the doctor says that you may die I want to take the IV's from your veins Ease your suffering and release your pain I wish you would wake my precious darling So I can hold you until the morning But I can't...the pain has taken its toll Now the doctor has to play out his role ©1997 JonH
