"Fast Asleep"


When the night comes
polar bear cubs sleep in
their caves calves on the farm sleep in the barn
warm in the hay nothing in this world is quite
as sweet as a tiny baby fast asleep
I could watch you to the end of time
especially when that baby is mine
kittens and pups eyes all closed up
snuggle near mom
robin's and wren's chicks have been fed
sleep until dawn
nothing in this world is quite as sweet
as a tiny baby fast asleep
I could watch you to the end of time
especially when that baby is mine
