Tiny hands, tiny feet and a tummy that's breathing
Tiny face on a sheet makes the miracle complete

It's so pure, it's so right,
it's the greatest delight
it's how we used to be
when our minds were still free

See is laugh, see is cry,
see it live without wondering
don't you long to know why ?
Let your thoughts begin to fly

We were small at the start
and we touched every heart
with our arms open wide
giving love from inside

There was no other world
and we never knew danger
There was light and a song
till mister Sandman came along

Let it sleep, let it be just a baby for now
and enjoy being part of life's very start

Tiny hands, tiny feet and a tummy that's breathing
Tiny face on a sheet makes the miracle complete
