This song is dedicated to Brigadier General Maes Hughes

Sung by him to his daughter Elysia

"My Little Angel"

Chorus:

Sleep tight, My Little Angel

Daddy's still here in your dreams,

I promise—

I'm sorry I can't hold you now,

But someday—

We'll meet again.

My Angel,

There are so many things I must tell you

Too many for all the time this world could give

But know, that when I get the chance

I'll tell you in detail and it'll be worth the wait,

I promise—

Chorus:

So sleep tight, My Little Angel

Daddy's still here in your dreams,

I promise—

I'm sorry I can't hold you now,

But someday—

We'll meet again.

My Angel,

My guilt harbors deep within me

Please understand Daddy loves you

My time floating in heaven will be spent

Thinking of my mistake and missing you,

I promise—

Chorus:

Sleep tight, My Little Angel

Daddy's still here in your dreams,

I promise—

I'm sorry I can't hold you now,

But someday—

We'll meet again.

My Angel,

Please understand if I had the power

To return to that night when you slept so soundly

No work could ever be more important than you

If I could hold you now, I'd never let you go,

I promise—

Chorus:

Sleep tight, My Little Angel

Daddy's still here in your dreams,

I promise—

I'm sorry I can't hold you now,

But someday—

We'll meet again.

My Angel,

It breaks my heart there's nothing I can do when you cry

That I can't hear you laugh or witness your smile

But even though I'm not by your side, know this

Daddy's still watching over you with care,

I promise—

Chorus:

So sleep tight, My Little Angel

Daddy's still here in your dreams,

I promise—

I'm sorry I can't hold you now,

But someday—

We'll meet again.

My Angel,

Although I'm gone forever, remember my one wish

Hold on to those who'll always love you

And will never let go; not ever

Through hardships they'll always stick by you,

I promise—

Chorus:

Sleep tight, My Little Angel

Daddy's still here in your dreams,

I promise—

I'm sorry I can't hold you now,

But someday—

We'll meet again.

My Angel,

If you'll be my messenger and use your wings to fly

Then there are a few things I must say to others

Those who I still love but left, like you

I regret heaping all this on your fragile shoulders,

I promise—

Chorus:

Sleep tight, My Little Angel

Daddy's still here in your dreams,

I promise—

I'm sorry I can't hold you now,

But someday—

We'll meet again.

My Angel,

Tell my dear Gracia to have hope and be happy

For I still love her and shall find her again

Tell Ed and Al to stay out of mischief,

And tell Roy I'm still helping him meet his goal,

I promise—

Chorus:

Sleep tight, My Little Angel

Daddy's still here in your dreams,

I promise—

I'm sorry I can't hold you now,

But someday—

We'll meet again.

My Angel,

Our time together was short, as it still is now

Take care, smile, because I want you to be happy

Be good, and you shall stand upon the Earth

One day, and I'll be watching, smiling,

I promise—

So sleep tight, My Little Angel

Let your worries pass away, everything'll be fine,

I promise—

Daddy'll be waiting patiently in your dreams,

For the day—

When we meet again

My Little Angel,

I promise—

Someday—

We'll meet again

Fín
