All I wish for,
Is my own baby
That is mine to keep
And is not lazyI want to hold you in my arms
As you sleep on my palms
Then gently place a kiss on your head
As I place you in your bedBut then you will cry and scream
I will come back up and give the book a read
You fallasleep
And remind me what you meanAs the days go by
You watch the sky
Then you grow up
That is time
