I love to watch you sleeping So just close your baby blues When you're dreamin' in a world of peace Nothing can worry you Though it seems you born only yesterday By tomorrow you could spread your wings and soar When the hands that rock your cradle can't hold you anymore Some days I'll walk on water And be your superman But if I should ever fall from grace Please take me as I am And reach out for me in your hour of need Don't walk away forevermore When the hands that rock your cradle can't hold you anymore My heart is always open If the nights are closing in upon you I'll fix you if you're broken I'll even move the moon if you need me to If the backstreets of temptation try to take you in Or the devil's politicians claim to be your friends I hope your childhood innocence can out live any demons at your door When the hands that rock your cradle can't hold you anymore
