April roses, tiny sparrows, Cornets bright and new All belong together With the myst'ry 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 mem'ry 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 wondrous 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 mem'ry of the day The world was born
