Beautiful girl lying there
Ribbons of velvet in your hair
Sleep like an angel, little girl blue
Wherever you are, I will watch over you
Into a little girl's room one night
Her father tiptoed to put out the light
He bent down to kiss her and then tuck her in tight
And he sang to her softly a song of goodnight
Beautiful girl lying there
Ribbons of velvet in your hair
Sleep like an angel, little girl blue
Wherever you are, I will watch over you
Into that room one dark night
He came in a uniform, shining and bright
He had to leave now and couldn't say why
But softly he sang a song of goodbye
Beautiful girl lying there
Ribbons of velvet in your hair
Someday the war will have to be through
And when it is done, then I'll come home to you
In a jungle outpost far away
A soldier was writing a letter one day
Telling his girls he was missing them so
And signing with kisses a daddy's hello
Beautiful girl lying there
A little girl tossed in her bed that night
She wanted her daddy to tuck her in tight
A wind touched the curtains and sighed as it blew
And a voice seemed to whisper to someone it knew
Beautiful girl lying there
Ribbons of velvet in your hair
Sleep like an angel, little girl blue
Wherever you are, I will watch over you (Watch over you)
