She’s in pigtails and lace The pretend party is in place She calls to him as he comes through the door Dance with me, Daddy But he is too concerned with his cares So she dances with Mr. Teddy Bear And angels come and surround her heart Jesus holds her in his arms Because no one should dance alone Lullaby of heaven Angels singing love songs Jesus crying and singing along Streams of glory flowing Lullabies of heaven caressing our heart Because no one cries alone He puts on his favorite team’s hat Grabs his glove, ball, and bat He prays maybe this time But he is not chosen He sits on the bench his mind frozen And angels come and surround his heart Jesus holds him in his arms Because no one should play alone Lullaby of heaven Angels singing love songs Jesus crying and singing along Streams of glory flowing Lullabies of heaven caressing our heart Because no one cries alone She stands by the little grave She wasn’t supposed to be pregnant But it happened any way Shunned and shamed the baby came Too soon and too small, she’s lost everything Angels come and surround her heart Jesus holds her in his arms Because no one should cry alone Lullaby of heaven Angels singing love songs Jesus crying and singing along Streams of glory flowing Lullabies of heaven caressing our heart Because no one cries alone [The way I saw this as I wrote it, the angels were both real angels ministering to broken hearts, but they were also symbolic of individuals partnering with Holy Spirit to reach out to others. The first "angel" is a grandfather who comes to the party and dances. The second "angel" is another little child on the playground who says, "come be my friend". The last "angel" is a nurse from the hospital who comes to the graveside to comfort a mother mourning. May we be listening to the quite voice of Holy Spirit who will guide us so that no one cries alone.]
