My little angel
I won't let you go
Don't be afraid my little angel
They not gonna get you
Don't worry my sweet angel

To take care of you
You look so much like her
She meant so much to me
You mean so much to me
You look so much like her
Don't be afraid
My little angel
I won't anything happen to you
