april roses, tiny sparrows
comets bright and know
all belong together
with the myst'ry that is you
when I see your little face
I hear a song from long ago
I think you know
the many secrets I've forgotten
generations through the ages
joined as one somehow
leading to the miracle
that I'm holding now
from the sky and from the sea
upon a breeze you came to me
you seem to see
a greater universe than I do
sleep my baby, leep my baby
dream of somewhere far away
do you remember still
how I hope you always will
keep the mem'ry of the day
the world was born
when you wake up I'll be waiting
eager for your smile
you've had quite a journey, darling
you should rest a while
when you cry we still rejoice
to hear your voice - oh, yes it's true
my sweet Washu
please understand how much we love you
sleep my baby, leep my baby
later on perhaps you'll tell
the wonderous things you've seen
more miraculous than dreams
tell me all about the day
the world was born
sleep my baby, leep my baby
dream of somewhere far away
do you remember still
how I hope you always will
keep the mem'ry of the day
the world was born
