Daddy's baby, what's got you thinking?
What's got you sinking so low?
Is there something I should know,
Something new to you?
Daddy's baby fussing and fretting,
Keeping on getting it wrong.

She can only last so long
So sing her a lullaby-bye
Baby don't like to cry,
So sing her a lullaby-bye
Swaddle and swing her,
Sing her a lullaby.

She makes her feelings known to me,
Her every side is shown to me
And in our time alone,
Our love has surely grown of its own
Silent as a stepping stone,
Silently as the dawn was breaking,
Soft and clear and my tears were dry,
And my tears had flown
So I called my love my home.
