Daddy's baby, what's got you think- ing
What's got you sinking so low?
Is there something I should know,
something new to you?
Daddy's baby, fussing and fret- ting,
keeping on getting it wrong.
She can only last so long
She's going for a song,
so sing her a lull-a- by- bye
Baby don't like to cry
So sing her a lullaby-bye
Swaddle and swing her
Sing her a lulla-by
She makes her feelings known to me
Her every side is shown to me
And in our time alone
my love has surely grown of its own
solid as a stepping stone
as silently as the dawn was breaking, soft and clear
and my tears were dry and my fears had flown
so I called my love my home.
