Eric Gwin - Refuge Lyrics

Little Angel (Cassidy's Song)

Words and Music by Eric Gwin.

The Story Behind the Song

On the evening before my daughter, Cassidy, was born, I took my sampler and a microphone up to the hospital and recorded about 60 seconds of her heartbeat. A few months after she was born, I took the heartbeat track and built the song's tempo around it.

This song also has a two-fold meaning. I wrote it for Cassidy, but when listening to it, I also hear God's voice, singing me to sleep with words of comfort. We mean more than anything to him.

The Lyrics

Little angel lay down your head
Close your eyes and go to sleep
There's no need for you to be afraid
You are safe in your Daddy's arms
You mean more than anything to me
And I love you so
So little angel don't be afraid
You are safe in my heart

Little angel I am here
To watch you as you learn and grow
Little angel my love for you
Is more than you'll ever know
You mean more than anything to me
And I love you so
So little angel don't be afraid
You are safe in my heart

Little angel you'll always be
Safe in my heart
