Souls from Lullabies

In an old toy shop in London
 A small girl met a bear
 And she knew that it would break her heart
 To leave him lying there
 And though she barely spoke just yet
 She asked her mom and dad
 With silent look she said he'd be
 The best friend she ever had
 They played by day in sunny fields
 And by night he glowed
 To keep her safe from all the beasts
 The nighttime always showed
 But as he aged, his lights grew dim
 Until he glowed no more
 And then for years, he lay quite dead
 Under bed upon the floor
 Souls from lullabies
 Will often fade as the years go by
 But he'll always be there
 If you'll always care for him
 The girl grew sadder, older
 As the bear just gathered dust
 Until one day she found him
 Took him to a man she trusts
 "Can you bring him back to life?"
 "Daddy, make him glow."
 "I'll do the best I can," he said
 "But I think the odds are low."
 So he cut into the fuzz
 Dug down into the fluff
 Found some wires laying loose
 And attached the bear's heart stuff
 And glow bear shown again
 His heart again did shine
 And so, too, did the girl
 So did this face of mine
 Souls from lullabies
 Will often fade as the years go by
 But he'll always be there
 If you'll always care for him
 The girl then hugged her dad
 And took the bear to her room
 And all alone the two did talk
 Bear illuminating gloom
 "I'm nine now," said the girl
 "I am no longer two."
 And girl and bear sat silent, loving, and they both said
 "I missed you."
 Souls from lullabies
 Will often fade as the years go by
 But he'll always be there
 If you'll always care for him
 Souls from lullabies
 Will often fade as the years go by
 But he'll always be there
 If you'll always care for him
