Holding you in my arms, praying God to take away your fever,
Sponging you down, begging there won't be another seizure;
Your little body, it stands no chance against infection,
And my strength...is all in my affection.
Shake Shake Shake--Little baby, I will always be at your side--Shake Shake Shake--And every time I watch you, a little piece of my dies--Shake Shake Shake--Daddy is here when it ends--Shake Shake Shake--Although each attack makes my despair descend.
I had seizures when I was young, so I know it's my fault,
I try to make amends, but I can't fight off your assault;
The doctor's say, 'He will likely outgrow the attacks',
But I'm alert, and I'm scared, and I am never relaxed.
Shake Shake Shake--Little baby, I will always be at your side--Shake Shake Shake--And every time I watch you, a little piece of my dies--Shake Shake Shake--Daddy is here when it ends--Shake Shake Shake--Although each attack makes my despair descend.
* Note: This is a true story. My son has fever seizures, likely passed on from me. He will probably be fine, with no side effects, but he has had four (he's three) and it's hard!
