I won't call you unexpected
And what that might imply
Just know you made us happy
For the time you were alive

I wish I could have met you
And held you that first time
Feel your tiny fingers
Wrap gently against mine

You would have loved your sisters
And they'd have loved you too
But fragile life is fleeting
What can any of us do?

So goodnight my sweetheart, wherever you are
Goodnight my Mary, my Mary of the stars

Should've been an older sibling
Should've been now one year old
You should've been there waiting
As we brought a sister home
 
But both of you were taken
First one year then the next
And our second little blessing
Was ushered to her rest

Each time was like a hammer
That dealt a heavy blow
And were I made of iron
I'd still buckle from the load

So goodnight my sweethearts, wherever you are
Goodnight my Catherine, and Mary of the stars

Our lives are seldom easy
So rarely balanced fair
And it's hard to fill a void
Once you feel it's there

And if you measure strength
By our weakest links
Maybe we will learn to
Protect our precious things

All the greatest joys of life
Wrapped up in a small size
All the greatest joys of life
Are matched by sad goodbyes

So goodnight my sweethearts, wherever you are
Goodnight my Catherine, and Mary of the stars

So goodnight my sweethearts, wherever you are
Goodnight my Catherine, and Mary of the stars
