From Ms. Errico's lyrics for "Gentle Child": "My baby I hold you so closely to me / My child, gentle child / I feel your breath so sweet upon my face / My heart next to yours / The day is ended so much that is new for you / For us / So much to come / So let us dream together / My baby rest / I will always be here / The night / The night holds us in its arms. …"
