Melanie Safka - Baby Day lyrics

rate me

Why sleep, when the day is being called up by the sun,<br />

From the night, cause the light's gonna shine on everyone,<br />

Why sleep, when the sleep only closes up our eyes,<br />

Why sleep, when we can watch the sunrise,<br />

<br />

We were meant to see the beginning of the day,<br />

I believe it was planned to lift us this way,<br />

Take you an apple and take you a song,<br />

Watch a baby day be born,<br />

Take you an apple and take you a song,<br />

Watch a baby day be born,<br />

<br />

Quite, quite, said I, that's so very well to say,<br />

But I rose before the dawn to your singing yesterday,<br />

I couldn't see the rising, cause the dark was in the sky,<br />

I couldn't see the sun, cause the sun was in my eye,<br />

<br />

Take you an apple and take you a song,<br />

Watch a baby day be born,<br />

Take you an apple and take you a song,<br />

Watch a baby day be born,<br />

<br />

Why sleep, I heard, and I followed it today,<br />

To the top of the hill where the windsongs play,<br />

And I sing it like I heard it; why I heard it, who knows why,<br />

Why sleep, when we can watch the sun rise,<br />

<br />

We were meant to see the beginning of the day,<br />

I believe it was planned to lift us this way,<br />

Take you an apple and take you a song,<br />

Watch a baby day be born,<br />

Take you an apple and take you a song,<br />

Watch a baby day be born,<br />

Take you an apple and take you a song,<br />

Watch a baby day be born,<br />

Take you an apple and take you a song,<br />

Watch a baby day be born,<br />

<br />

Take you an apple and take you a song,<br />

Take back an answer to something gone wrong,<br />

Take back some music, and take me along,<br />

And watch a baby day be born,<br />

Watch a baby day be born...<br />
