Please Don’t Die lyrics

Here you are
In my arms
So small and frail

Here you rest
On my chest
Helpless and pale

On your forehead I plant a sweet kiss
We're a mural of maternal bliss
I love you so much I could cry
Now hush, go to sleep
And please don't die

(Shh! Shh! Sh!)

When you sleep
It's so sweet
You slumber with grace

And when I
Can't see your chest rise
I scream in your face

[SPOKEN]
HEY! WAKE UP! BE ALIVE!
Newborn horses can trot
Turtle hatchlings can swim
Which is how turtle mommies have time for the gym

Birds pop out of their eggs
And start learning to fly
But, you're not a falcon so
Please don't CAW!
That's falcon for die
It also means twig

Hush, little baby, don't say a word
Unless it's to say that a strand of hair
Has somehow become wrapped around your toe
And it's cutting off your circulation

And then the toe turns blue
And we call 911
And your whole foot has to be amputated
It's a real thing called
Hair tourniquet syndrome
So hush, little baby

{SPOKEN]
Unless you have... that?
Checklist!
Crib is bare, no toe hair
Your swaddle's... not bad
Though, I know
If you were to go
I'd just blame your dad and it would dissolve our marriage

It's not just your dying that fills me with dread
But the feeling I'd have if you ever got dead
Balloons shouldn't say, "It's a boy" or "It's a girl"
They should say
"It's a thing that will ruin you forever if it stops"

I will do what it takes to keep you alive
Even if it kills me, I'll make you survive
If you suffocate, you're grounded!
So, don't even try
And you just fell asleep
So please don't die

Please don't... CAW!
This is hell
