Let My Baby Live
Gail Fasolo 

How can I feel happiness 
When I've felt so much pain? 
Will my baby live this time 
Or will it die again? 

Forgive me if I make no plans 
I've been through that before. 
The crib, the clothes, all put away 
I won't go through that once more 

Normal aches and pains I feel 
Intensify my fear 
That I will lose this little life 
One I love so dear. 

Unless you've lost your only child, 
You don't know my pain. 
My heart's been broken once before 
Will it be again? 

I already love this baby 
But I'm scared to feel that way. 
I'll keep my feelings deep inside 
To let out on its birth day. 

So I'll say a little prayer 
God - be kind to me. 
Let my baby live this time 
And bring it here safely.
