God gave me these babies for only a time.
He said, "They are Angels, remember they're mine.
One day they'll return to heaven above,
But for now they're your blessing
to care for and love."
I love their laughter, and cherish each grin,
Oh, those bedtime stories,
and just tucking them in.
Their beautiful faces, each one's so unique,
As they close their eyes and pretend they're asleep.
Tender hearts beating, the sweetest of hymns.
As they lay dreaming, I thank God for them
"Goodnight my babies, I pledge gratitude
For the angels in waiting that I have in you."
I'll treasure each moment with one thing in mind
I'm the keeper of angels for just a short time.
.God gave me these babies for only a time.
He said, "They are angels, remember they're mine."
