Little baby, I love you br For you are a part of me. br Each and every inch you’ll grow br I want to be there to see. br br Someday you’ll chase fireflies br Who ride the breath of the winds. br Someday you'll be all grown up br And out on the town with friends. br br You have your daddy 's freckles; br You've got your mommy's eyes. br I pray to God every day br You’ll survive all of life's lies. br br Little babies shoot up fast br As they need to stretch and grow. br They do such things as children do br In a world they’ve yet to know br br Someday you will understand br How your parents feel inside. br Someday you’ll have your babies br And raise them with great pride. br br Of all the gifts that life may bring, br A sweet baby is still the best. br Your mom and I shall love you br 'Till the day we're laid to rest.
