The Milky Way upon the heavens is twinkling just for you
And Mr. Moon, he came by to say good night to you
I'll sing for you
I'll sing for mother
We're praying for the world
And for the people everywhere
Gonna show them all we care
* Oh, my sleeping child, the world's so wild
But you build your own paradise
That's one reason why I'll cover you, sleeping child *
If all the people around the world, they had a mind like
yours,
We'd have no fightings and no wars
There would be lasting peace on earth
If all the kings and all the leaders, could see you here
this way,
They would hold the earth in their arms,
They would learn to watch you play
(They would learn to watch)
** Repeat
(Cover my child) I'll really cover my sleeping child
(Keep you away) Keep you away from the world, so wild
(Keep you away from the world away from the world, so wild)
** Repeat
** Repeat
