my sweet and precious baby
No breath for you to take
No laughter for me to hear
my life will never be the same

my sweet and precious baby
Forever in my heart
my love for you will always be
What keeps me from being apart

my sweet and precious baby
I wanted to hold you longer
But you were not mine to keep
So in Jesus' arms is where
You will go to sleep

My sweet and precious baby
Oh how I wanted to be the one to kiss you,
Take care of you, watch you grow
And hold you in my arms
But instead I must say
Goodbye and learn to let you go

my sweet and precious baby
You are my angel now Eli
So be at peace my son and
Always know how proud I am
To have had the chance to hold
you in my arms

my sweet and precious baby
You are in God's hands now
And Heaven will be your home
So until we meet again my son
Take care and always know how
Much you are
