Plumb's 'My Sweet, My Lovely' is a tender lullaby expressing deep affection and wonder for a beloved child. The lyrics describe quiet moments of gazing into innocent eyes, feeling joy in simple kisses, and marveling at the presence of someone once only dreamed of. The repeated invitation to close your eyes suggests a soothing, protective love. While the song does not explicitly mention God or faith, its themes of cherished love and gentle care can resonate with Christian listeners as a reflection of God's nurturing love for His children.

I tiptoe
Hush hush...
Pitter pat
Goes my heart...
Your beauty
Your innocence
Joy is found
With every kiss
My sweet, my lovely
My sweet, my lovely
So sweet, so lovely
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
I stare into
The bluest eyes
Time stands still in
Your smile
You weren't there
And now you're here
I dreamed of you
But I never know how...sweet and lovely
My sweet, my lovely
So sweet, so lovely
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
My sweet, my lovely
My sweet, my lovely
So sweet, so lovely
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
Close your eyes
