It's time to sleep and close your eyes
She lifts her big brown eyes and stares at me, and she says
Mummy pray for me tonight
I take her in my arms and kiss her cheek
As I begin to pray, with all my heart so weak
Put Your angels 'round my baby
May Your Spirit flow, may she bloom and grow
To the woman she should be
Let her always know I love her
Give her victory in the world
Every step she takes, every choice she makes
Put Your angels, put Your angels 'round my girl.
I know she's growing and some day soon
She won't have ribbons in her hair
She'll put on makeup and face the world
In every choice I pray you're there
Please give her good friends, let her hear every word you say
And when the devil calls her, give her strength to go your way
Put Your angels 'round my baby
May she love You and believe
May Your Spirit flow, may she bloom and grow
To the woman she should be
Let her always know I love her
Give her victory in the world
Every step she takes, every choice she makes
Put Your angels, put Your angels 'round my girl.
Please give her good friends, let her hear every word you say
And when the devil calls her, give her strength to go your way
Put Your angels 'round my baby
May she love You and believe
May Your Spirit flow, may she bloom and grow
To the woman she should be
Let her always know I love her
Give her victory in the world
Every step she takes, every choice she makes
Put Your angels, put Your angels 'round my girl.
The song "Put Your Records On" by Darin is a heartfelt and emotional tribute from a mother to her daughter. The first verse sets the scene as the mother tucks her baby girl into bed and prepares to say goodnight. The daughter, with her big brown eyes, looks at her mother and asks her to pray for her. This moment highlights the innocence and vulnerability of the child, as well as the deep bond and love between the two.
In the chorus, the mother asks for divine intervention and protection for her daughter. She prays that angels surround her and guide her on her journey through life. She hopes that her daughter will always love and believe in God, and that His Spirit will flow through her, allowing her to grow and blossom into the woman she is meant to be. The mother wants her daughter to be aware of her love and to find success and triumph in the world, regardless of the challenges she may face.
The second verse acknowledges that the daughter is growing up and beginning to face the world outside of her childhood. The mother recognizes that her daughter will soon no longer have the innocence of ribbons in her hair but will face more adult challenges. Still, the mother maintains her prayerful hope that her daughter will always have good company and will listen to the teachings of God. She prays for strength for her daughter to resist any negative influences that may come her way.
The chorus is repeated again, emphasizing the mother's plea for protection and guidance from above. She reiterates her desire for her daughter to always know that she is loved and cherished, and hopes for her success in every step and choice she makes. The mother is entrusting her daughter's journey to God's angels and asking for their constant presence and support.
Overall, "Put Your Records On" is a moving song that captures a mother's deep love and concern for her daughter. It highlights the importance of faith, prayer, and the hope for a bright future.

She didn’t take a whole verse to get chairs to turn, great vibe, loose and fun She utilized dynamics and hit that rhythm hard in place. Definitely a well-trained vocalist. - So You Wanna Be A Singer
