Mother and Child

For a little face, that's the biggest yawn Look at teddy bear yawning too All those animals sleeping in your bed Do you really think there'll be room for you? Time to tuck you in, warm and cosy-like Are you comfortable, little lamb? Such a sleepy smile you must surely know All the lovely things you'll be dreaming of Swinging tree top high, sliding belly down Eating jelly beans to your heart's delight In a fairy tale in a wonderland through the night I hope that she forgets and leaves my door open So I can have a little light from the hallway If I can hear them talking, if I can hear them laughing I know I won't be frightened, maybe At night I know that's just my chair, the nice red one But it looks different than it looks in the daytime Sometimes I think it's moving, a big enormous monster A dinosaur or dragon maybe I close my eyes and there are ghosts and witches I'm scared a wicked witch will eat me Oh, how I wish it wasn't always dark at night For a little face, that's the biggest yawn I hope that she forgets and leaves my door open Look at teddy bear yawning too So I can have a little light from the hallway All those animals sleeping in your bed If I can hear them talking, if I can hear them laughing Do you really think there'll be room for you?
