April roses, tiny sparrows   Comets 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 wonderous things you've seen   More miraculous than dreams   Tell me all about the day   The world was born      [ Instrumental ]      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
