Little Dove, Little Dove

Little Dove, Little Dove, please don’t cry
Don’t cry for my absence, Don’t ask ‘why?’
Just curl up and sleep, leave your worries behind

Little Dove, Little Dove, please don’t yell
Don’t wail and bawl, don’t form a shell
Although I’m not there I’m still with you in thought
Although I’m not there and our time was short
I need you to be good, I need you to be okay
I need you to be happy while I am away

Little Dove, Little Dove, please remember me
Remember me when you are free
Remember it was me who sang you to sleep
And read to you, held you while till you fall asleep
because, little one, you know I love you
I love you both after everything we’ve been through

Oh, Little Dove, Little Dove, please don’t cry
It breaks my heart to say goodbye
Just curl up and sleep, I’m in your past
Just curl up and sleep and love will last

Little Dove, Little Dove, I’m begging you now
Just curl up and sleep, you’ll move on somehow
Just don’t cry when you realise I’m missing
Just curl up and sleep and listen, just listen,
“Don’t Cry”

Who do you turn to when the only person in the world that can stop you from crying, is exactly the one making you cry?
