Generate meaning
1
A laughing baby boy one evening in his play
2
He disturbed the household with his noisy glee
3
Well I warned him to keep quiet but he soon would disobey
4
For he would soon forget a word from me
5
Then I called him to my side and said son you must go to bed
6
For your conduct has been very very rude
7
With quivering lips and tear filled eyes he pleaded then with me
8
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good
9
(Don't papa and I'll be good don't papa and I'll be good)
10
That's what I heard him say and it haunts me night and day
11
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good
12
Our lives have just been gladdened by his bright ascending beam
13
Our boy now in our hearts was very dear
14
Well I hastened to his bed and found him talking in his sleep
15
He didn't seem to know that we were near
16
So I took him in my arms and found his body raked with pain
17
To ease his pain we did the best we could
18
It broke my heart to hear him cryin' so loudly in his sleep
19
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good
20
(Don't papa and I'll be good...
21
All night and day we watched and prayed and we never left his side
22
To give him up it seemed we never could
23
It broke my heart to hear him saying just before he died
24
Don't make me go to bed papa and I'll be good
25
(Don't papa and I'll be good...
