When I was younger, I seem to remember
Holding a finger while walking to Mother's 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?
Why cry little baby?
Why cry?
Hey, hey
Now I am older, I don't sit on her shoulder
To gaze over the worlds that are lower to the higher standing
Instead I'm staring into your ageless 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 cry?
Hey, hey, hey
Why should you worry?
I know there'll be an answer when you call
So don't you push or be in a hurry
Learning how to stand is what you're for
So don't you push or be in a hurry
Learning how to stand is what you're for
So don't you push or be in a hurry
Learning how to stand is what you're for
When I was younger I seem to remember
Holding a finger while walking to Mother's stand
