lyrics

Haylee’s Lullaby

On the 27th of February, the year two thousand and seven,
(You were) born at your Nanna’s house on your way to heaven.
I bore you only 25 weeks, I wish it had been much more,
But you were so impatient you arrived in the early morn.

(Haylee) My precious daughter, Haylee
(Haylee) With your feet so small and dear,
(Haylee) You are in my heart forever,
In my dreams I hold you near.

We rushed you off to the Royal Women’s on Grattan Street.
I saw your gorgeous dark brown hair, and your tiny wrinkled feet.
On the outside you were perfect, such a tiny, precious girl,
We were torn when they told us your body was so unwell.

That day and night we cried and cried, but we had to let you go.
You are with the angels now and all the babes in heaven, I know.
My name is Kellie McBrien, your father’s name is Tom,
Your Nanna Lyn, she held you too, before too soon you were gone.

(Haylee) My precious little Haylee
(Haylee) Jesus holds you in his arms
(Haylee) You have new wings in heaven
Where the angels now you charm.

In my dreams I hold you near, my love. I will never let you go.
I think of all I planned to do, as I watched you grow.
The fun we would have had together, the memories we’d share,
These may be with others soon, but you know I will always care.

(Haylee) I love you precious Haylee
(Haylee) So beautiful and small
(Haylee) Your dark brown hair and sea green eyes,
We love you, one and all.
Oh, we love you, one and all.
Yes we love you, one and all.
