Pitter-patter, I hear her feet

They're trotting through another day

A pace so fast, it's hard to keep up

So, I'll meet her at the end instead

Where she lifts a prayer and lays her thought-filled head down

I would say goodnight this way



*If you close your eyes and listen real close

You just might hear your heartbeat

And may its rhythm lull you to rest

On this peaceful or unsettled night

For it's the whisper of His love for you



How many smiles she wins a day it's hard to say

Supposing heaven only knows

Gives all she has and hardly asks for a thing

She even sings herself to sleep

But if I had the honor tonight

I'd sing for her this melody*



The lights are off and darkness fills your little room

But you could still see everything

And if you're restless tonight 





Just close your eyes and listen real close

So close you'd hear your heartbeat

And may its rhythm lull you to rest

On this peaceful or unsettled night

For it's the whisper of His love for you

For it's His whisper saying "I love you"
