Sssh, it's just the thunder 

My little girl

Pack a bag

Don't feel sad

I know Daddy has to stay 

But he's keeping 

The big bad wolves at bay

Don't cry, don't cry!

We'll say goodbye

He'll come back soon

And bring the moon

And we'll eat it

With a big, fat spoon!

That's more like it!

Giggles & smiles

Daddy can see them 

From miles & miles!

I know your hungry

We do have bread

But we have to keep some

For the road ahead

It'll be an adventure 

To somewhere new

And don't worry you'll make

Lots of  new friends too!

Now, go get your boots

The ones for walking 

While us adults

Do some talking

 

It's thunder! Just thunder!

My little girl 

No need to get

Yourself in a whirl 

It's fireworks 

Cracking & popping above 

It's Daddy celebrating 

All of his love! 

Come hide! Come hide!

In our own secret place

I'll brush all the dust

From your beautiful face

Sssh, now

And remember the girl 

With the sweet violin?

You thought it was how

Angels must sing

I know, in the street

You saw her fall

But she just went to play

For those angels, that's all

Now, put on your headphones

And cuddle up tight

And the violins will sing

All through the night

The whole world is watching 

They won't let us down

For one day it may be

Their little town

And Daddy will come 

And all will be well

And we'll all run away

From this unnecessary hell

 

Sssh, my little girl

                              Ssssh

 

Daddy will come…

Daddy will come…

Daddy wi…
