SADE - The Sweetest Gift Lyrics (Lovers Rock)

This is a beautiful song, it makes me cry just to think of it. I cried the first time I heard, it immediately brought images of Max a baby into my mind and him as a grown man...a good, kind, happy man. Ah, the things we want for our children?

Quietly while you were asleep
The moon and I were talking
I asked that she'd always keep you protected

She promised you her light
That you so gracefully carry
You bring your light and shine like morning

And then the wind pulls the clouds across the moon
Your light fills the darkest room
And I can see the miracle
That keeps us from falling

She promised all the sweetest gifts
That only the heaven's could bestow
You bring your light and shine like morning

And as you so gracefully give
Her light as long as you live
I'll always remember this moment
