BARBRA STREISAND - Mother And Child lyrics

rate me

[Mother:]

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 cozy-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...

[Child:]

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...

[Both sing same parts, dueting]
