When I was younger I seem to remember Holding a finger while walking to Mother standing By ten I could tell her "I'll love you forever And I'll tread on the stars just to be with you Notwithstanding" When staring into her naked face Yes, I wished my eyes would never stray She said why cry little baby Why cry yeh yeh Why cry pretty baby Wipe your eyes yeh yeh Now I am older I don't sit on her shoulder To gaze over worlds that are lower to The higher standing Instead I'm staring into your ageless face Yes, and I wish my eyes will never stray So why cry little baby Why cry yeh yeh Why cry pretty baby Wipe your eyes yeh yeh Why should you worry You know there'll be an answer When you call So don't you push or be in a hurry 'Cause learning how to stand Is why you fall When I was younger I seem to remember Holding a finger while walking to Mother standing
