Bedtime Hallelujah

Bedtime is an epic battles some nights. Other nights it is a breeze. Tonight was a battle. Once asleep all I could think was: Hallelujah! 

I rewrote this song and may just sing it nightly. Enjoy!

*****

Well I heard there was an impending calm

When Kiddo slept and it pleased her Mom

But you don't really believe in magic, do you?

Well it goes like this:

The fights, the fits,

That led to the end of my wits

The baffled dad composing Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

My faith was strong but I needed proof
Before I stick her on the roof
Her screaming and protesting overthrew you
She tried to climb a kitchen chair
She broke your phone and she cut her hair
The last thing you would say was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Kiddo I've been here before
I've seen this fit and I've cleaned this floor
We used to live alone before we knew you
And I've seen your yawns and your tired eyes
the water, the potty, my loud sighs
Bed is amazing and so needed Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

There was a time when I would know
That 8 o’clock would mean a show
But now it means a fight at bedtime with you
But remember what I told to you
You sleep and there’ll be a treat for you
And every sleeping breath you drew was Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...

Maybe there's a God above
She’s sleeping and I’m filled with love
Was hard to not give up and turn on Blue’s Clues
We stood firm, we won, we took back the night
Don’t anyone breath or touch the light
It's a miracle she’s asleep Hallelujah

Hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah, hallelujah...
