Verse 1

You're my precious little baby,

You are all the world to me (just listen)

And you'll understand me, maybe,

When I tell you true I'm the boy for you,

There's Oh! Oh! oceans of joy—for you!

When my arms are close about you

Life is fill'd with ecstacy

And though the time will come, some distant day,

When your face is wrinkled and your hair is grey,

You'll always be the same sweet baby to me.
