April roses, tiny sparrows
Cornets bright and new
All belong together
With the mystery 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 am 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, sleep my baby
Dream of somewhere far away
Do you remember still
How I hope you always will
Keep the memory 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, sleep my baby
Later on perhaps you'll tell
The wondrous things you've seen
More miraculous than dreams
Tell me all about the day the world was born
� Sleep my baby, sleep my baby
Dream of somewhere far away
Do you remember still
How I hope you always will
Keep the memory of the day the world was born
