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 it's 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 it's 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"
