Nights shower through me
as my eyes glisten
looking at the moon
as it gazes through the streets
Traffic never ends
in the city that never sleeps
I lay upon my bed
my blanket in one hand
my teddy in the other
and wait
wait for you to return
my eyes shall not close
my ears shall not quit listening
and my heart shall not quit aching
Five sunrises
have passed by
and no sign of you
I can hear mommy crying
I can see
the pain in her smile
as she tucks me in
and tells me a story
the same story you've read to me
the one with the princess
and her gardien angel
Where is my gardien angel mommy?
Where is my daddy?
There she goes again
shedding a tear
as she holds me near
a tear drop
falls upon my cheek
she takes a deep breath
and finally tells me
'' Sweetheart
daddy is gone now
and he won't be back
remember when mommy
got all dressed up yesterday
and told you i'd be back soon
with my black dress i left you with
Rubby your teddy bear
and the nanny by your side?
Mommy went to church
to say goodbye to daddy''
But why mommy?
Where is daddy going?
I need my gardien angel
he promised he'd always be there
That he'd never leave me
'' Daddy went to a better place
one where he will always watch over you''
Did daddy die like in the book?
''Yes sweetheart,
daddy died''
There i was
in my mothers arms
waiting
for my gardien angel
to come back
and finish my story
I'll wait
day and night
until he comes back
to tuck Rubby and I in
until the day comes
i'll watch the sun set
and the moon light the night
Until he comes back
