They said you looked like me when I was a baby...

The milky way upon the heavens,

Is twinkling just foryou

And mr. moon, he came by,

To say goodnight toyou.

I sing for you, I sing for mother,

We're praying for the world,

And for the people everywhere

Gonna show them all we care

Oh mysleeping child, the world's so wild,

But you build your own paradise

That's one reason why I cover you sleeping child.

If all the people around theworld

They had a mind like yours,

We'd have no fighting and no wars,

There's be lasting peace on earth.

If all the kings and all the leaders

Could see you here this way,

They would hold the earth in their arms

They would learn to watch you play.

Oh my sleeping child the world's so wild

But you build your own paradise,

That's one reason why I cover you sleeping child.
