BEAUTIFUL BABY, WONDERFUL CHILD LYRICS
1)Beautiful Baby, Wonderful Child
Beautiful Baby
Wonderful Child
As your eyes meet mine
You and me, space and time
Melt away in love so pure
Turn away, go explore
When you look back you’ll find
Once again your eyes meet mine
Always know
I’m watching as you go
When you need me by your side
My heart and arms are open wide
As the inches turn to miles
Look back and see
I’m still watching, breathlessly
Beautiful Baby
Wonderful Child

2) 1x2x3x4x5
Let me count the times I’m glad you’re alive
One times two times three times four times five
One times one little precious child
Pure and perfect, sweet and mild
You’ve got my hopeful heart beguiled
One times one little precious child
One times two tender ways to be
Sometimes awake, sometimes asleep
I wonder what your dream will be
One times two tender ways to be
Two times three places to be found
Here and there and everywhere
Up and down and all around
Two times three places to be found
Three times four little limbs in motion
Crawling first, walking soon
Step on the moon, reach ‘cross the ocean
Three times four little limbs in motion
Four times five little fingers and toes
Wiggling, wandering, where you go
So much to feel, so much to know
Four times five little fingers and toes
Let me count the times I’m glad you’re alive
One times two times three times four times five

3) A Blessing
May Mother Earth hold you
as you walk and as you sleep
May Brother Wind sing
as you laugh and as you weep
May Sister Sea wash
the joy and sorrow from your eyes
May the fire of your spirit
reach to Father Sky

We fit, we fit
Our love won’t quit
You and me sharing every little bit, cause

Our light stays lit

Our love won’t quit
You and me sharing every little bit, cause
We fit
Never been another like me
Never been another you
Whatever the weather might be

5) Play Little Paddy Cake
Chorus:
Play little paddy cake, play, whatcha say
You’re a wee little wonder of a bundle of joy
Play little paddy cake, play, ever’day
You’re a wee little wonder of a bundle of joy
Verse:
Take your red rubber hammer
don’t you stutter, don’t you stammer
‘Cause the ma’am who wrote the grammar don’t care no more
It’s a four leaf clover that the cow jumped over
Gonna run red rover to your mama’s door
Chorus: repeat chorus
Verse:
No need to whine and suffer, primed and proud as a puffer
Let me sing for my supper and we’ll eat just fine
Then I’ll kiss the rosy little rows of toes on your feet
Lip smackin’ sweet as the berries on the vine
Chorus: repeat chorus
Verse:
Ain’t no pride worth savin’, when your heart’s got the cravin’
And your feet start behavin’ like a leaf in the wind
All rantin’ and a ravin’ ‘bout the harp David’s playin’
Goin’ swingin’ and a swayin’, sayin’ “Let’s hear it again!”
Chorus: repeat chorus

6) I’ve Had Enough-I Want Some More
I’ve had enough, enough, enough
Listen to the one you love
I’ve had enough
I want some more, some more, some more
Watch the eyes that you adore
I want some more
Push and pull, empty, full
Yes and no, stop and go
Just begun, over and done
Watch me close, I knows
I want some more, some more, some more
Watch the eyes that you adore
I want some more
Push and pull, empty, full
Yes and no, stop and go
Just begun, over and done
Watch me close, I knows
I’ve had enough, enough, enough
Listen to the one you love
I’ve had enough

7) Look at Me
Look at me reaching so high, high
Up to the sky-tippy toe high, high
Look at me reaching so low, low
Down to the ground-low, low, low
Look at me reaching so wide, wide
Side to side-wide, wide, wide
Look at me spinning, slowly spinning
Slowly spinning around
Then I stop and hop and hop and hop
Look at me sit down

9) Stars and Fireflies
Stars and fireflies
Sparkle through the night
Fireflies low and stars so high
Where do you get your light?
Teach me little firefly
Shining star teach me too
Give me wings so I can fly
And light up the sky like you
All day long I’ve stood with my feet on the ground
But something inside me has found a way to shine and fly
My heart can fly and my mind is a light
That grows brighter and brighter and longer and stronger each day
Stars and fireflies
Sparkle through the night
Fireflies low and stars so high
Where do you get your light?
Teach me little firefly
Shining star teach me too
Give me wings so I can fly
And light up the sky like you

12) Every Time I Look at You
Every time I look at you
I see a dream coming true
Every time I look at you
I know just what I want to do
Living everyday from dawn to sunset
Doing all the things we haven’t done yet
That’s all I want to do
Every time I look at you
Every time you look at me
I feel the world as it grows
Every time you look at me
I want to see what you see,
know what you know
Be the one to share your ups
and downs with
Be the one that’s there to smile
and frown with
That’s who I want to be
Every time you look at me
Time after time I’m amazed at the ways
You touch my heart and enlighten
my mind
Every minute that I’m in it
I take pleasure at the treasure
that you are
You’re so bright, you’re a light,
you’re a star
Head to toe, where you go, sure to know,
you’ll go far
Every time I look at you
I see a dream coming true
Every time I look at you
I know just what I want to do
In the rain and snow and dark of night
and sunny day
A hundred different places in a hundred different ways
That’s all I want to do, every time I look at
All I want to be, every time you’re with me
All I want to do, every time I look at you

13) I Keep A Kiss in my Pocket
When one of us has to go
And one of us has to stay
We say I love you
In a very special way
(kiss) I kiss your hand
Then you kiss my hand too (kiss)
Then put the kiss in a pocket
To keep the whole day through
I keep a kiss in my pocket
So I don’t feel sad or alone
I keep a kiss in my pocket
Until we’re both back home
When it’s you I miss
I take the kiss
And see you in my mind
I hold you there
And forget my care
And end up feeling fine
I keep a kiss in my pocket
So I don’t feel sad or alone
I keep a kiss in my pocket
Until we’re both back home
