Lyrics

  1. You keep me sighing
    I’m almost crying
    ‘Cause I cannot help but stare
    At your sparkling beauty rare
    There’s lots of babies
    In this world ’tis true
    But there’s not another one
    Half as sweet as you

Chorus
Oh, how I love you little baby
I more than prize your pretty eyes
They seem to say I’ll love you maybe
And you’re the kind that all sweethearts idolize
Just like a ray of lasting sunshine
That’s how you’ve made life see to me
And all I ever want to do
Is just to keep on loving you, forever
That’s how I love you little baby

  1. All day I’m raving
    For you I’m craving
    ‘Cause I know when you are near
    You bring sunshine to me, dear
    Say little baby, you’re a Paradise
    I can’t live without your love
    That is why I cry
