When I was younger   I seem to remember   Holding a finger while walking to   Mother standing      By ten, I could tell her   "I'll love you forever   And I'll tread on the stars just to be with you   Notwithstanding"      When staring into her naked face   Yes, I wished my eyes would never stray      She said, "Why cry, little baby?"   Why cry? Yeah yeah   Why cry, pretty baby?   Wipe your eyes, yeah yeah      Now I am older   I don't sit on her shoulder   To gaze over worlds that are lower to   The higher standing      Instead, I'm staring into your ageless face   Yes, and I wish my eyes will never stray      So, why cry, little baby?   Why cry? Yeah yeah   Why cry, pretty baby?   Wipe your eyes, yeah yeah yeah      Why should you worry   You know there'll be an answer when you call   So don't you push or be in a hurry   'Cause learning how to stand is why you fall      Aah, aah   Aah, aah      Aah, aah   Aah, aah      When I was younger   I seem to remember   Holding a finger while walking to   Mother standing
