I lay you down and turn around
and softly creep away
I turn once more just to be sure
that all is still ok

Your bottle gripped rubber **** tipped
a glass and half of milk
your tiny eyes and soft warm sighs
and skin as soft as silk

I stand awhile and gently smile
and listen to you snore
my heart my joy my baby boy
each day I love you more

Now sleep my son as day is done
and it has grown so dark
you must be beat with tired feet
from playing in the park

But come day break make no mistake
I'll be here with a hug
so off you go my darling Joe
wrapped up all warm and snug
