Put my baby to bed, I'm on my way
I wanna be there when my baby breach the day
The road is long, I'm coming home
I wanna see my baby waking with the dawn

Put my baby to bed, don't hesitate
Turn back the cover, shut the lights, pull down the shade
I'm halfway there so tell him this
I cannot wait, the sweet embrace, my baby's kiss

Don't make me wait so long
Regretting every night away from home
Passing lights, that wistful feeling
You're gonna ruin all its charms
Can't hold a candle to my baby's arms

Put my baby to bed, some call it fate
Me and my baby meant to be together each and every day
Yes, I was wrong to go away
I'm coming home and that is where I'm gonna stay

Don't make me wait so long
Regretting every night away from home
Passing lights, that wistful feeling
You're gonna ruin all its charms
Can't hold a candle to my baby's arms

Put my baby to bed, don't stay up late
The sooner baby goes to sleep the sooner baby gets to play
Like candy heart but we'll be strong
Just me and baby, yeah, together for my own

Life can be hard, but we'll be strong
Just me and baby, yeah, together for my own
