On their recent Journey to lake Placid Raechel had been reading some Winnie the Pooh to Stewie when they both went to sleep. The angel and her guardian. Momma Melanie caught the photo while Dan the Bird Man drove through the mountains.
Grandpas New Lyrics to All Through the night
Sleep My child, your Guardians with you
All Through the ride.
You have read to him, so kindly
All through the ride.
Raechel sleeps so very softly
Mommas thoughts are very lofty.
Granpa smiles and dreams so softly
All through your ride.
You have been with us a year now
All through our lives
Watched your blues eyes
Move in wonder
All through our lives.
Ever sound and every gesture
Prove to us that your the best you''re
Touching us with every gesture
All through our lives..
So I humn this song so softly
Raechel my child
You have calmed my heart so troubled
Raechel my child
This song doesnt scan so greatly
The rhymes are off but just you wait see
Your the baby who inspires me
Raechel my child.

| The ancient Welsh folk song, Ar Hyd y Nos. It was first published under that name by Bardd y Brenin (Edward Jones) in Musical Relicks of the Welsh Bards(1784).* The first English lyrics were possibly written by Amelia Opie and was sung to an English setting, "Here beneath a willow weepeth poor Mary Ann." Those lyrics were eventually replaced by Harold Boulton's now familiar lyrics. There is another set of lyrics at All Through the Night (2). | Sleep my child and peace attend thee,
All through the night
Guardian angels God will send thee,
All through the night
Soft the drowsy hours are creeping
Hill and vale in slumber sleeping,
I my loving vigil keeping
All through the night.
While the moon her watch is keeping
All through the night
While the weary world is sleeping
All through the night
O'er they spirit gently stealing
Visions of delight revealing
Breathes a pure and holy feeling
All through the night.
Love, to thee my thoughts are turning
All through the night
All for thee my heart is yearning,
All through the night.
Though sad fate our lives may sever
Parting will not last forever,
There's a hope that leaves me never,
All through the night.
