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 yeh yeh
  Why cry pretty baby
  Wipe your eyes yeh yeh
  
  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 yeh yeh
  Why cry pretty baby
  Wipe your eyes yeh yeh
  
  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
  
  When I was younger
  I seem to remember
  Holding a finger while walking to
  Mother standing
