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 tread on the stars just to be with you Notwithstanding When staring into her vacant face Yes, I wish that my eyes would never stray She said why cry little baby Why cry Hey, hey Why cry little baby Why your eyes Hey, hey 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 And I wish my eyes would never stray She said why cry little baby Why cry Hey, hey Why cry little baby Why your eyes Hey, hey Why should you worry You know there'll be an answer when you fall So don't you push or be in a hurry Cause learning how to stand is what you're for So don't you push or be in a hurry Cause learning how to stand is what you're for When I was younger I seem to remember Holding her finger while walking to Mother's stand
