Now they lay her down to sleep

by blindedxxbyxxlove   Oct 28, 2005


Gathered in this church tonight no one makes a sound
Dressed in black, their heads held low, everyone gathers around
Crying tears of sadness, they've come to say good-bye
To this broken hearted little girl, the angel they left behind
Her favorite teddy bear lay at her feet
Her body so little, her body so meek
Pretty pink make-up hides the black and blue spots
Powder hides the scars that her tears cannot
Her hands folded neatly over a pretty red rose
The things she went through no one will know
The once beautiful wings that sparkled in the sun
The thread ripped off, the feathers came undone
The once pretty smile that lit up a room
Lay beneath the lies, the story of her doom
The once cheerful laugh everyone grew to love
Now distant as a memory, pale as a dying dove
As she lay there in her white satin bed
Rose petals fall on her sweet little head
Now they lay her down to sleep
They pray the lord her soul to keep
For they didn't see what was in front
of their eyes
They didn't hear her screams, they didn't hear her cries
In heaven she'll laugh, she'll smile again
Happy forever, playing again
As the Church remains silent, the last prayer is said
As the last petal falls, the last tear is shed...
