I will send you out a message I will telephone a love song I'll collect all of your stories I haven't seen you for so long Do you wonder what I'm up to? Do I ever cross your mind? May we love the things we cling to There is never enough time I would watch as you was sleeping To make sure you were still breathing You live so fast without seeing This eternal youth is fleeting Oh take care of my baby Take care of my baby Take care of my baby I don't think he can do it himself Oh what to do with my hands They've no others to hold They lay sadly by my side so cold What to do with my head When I've no place to lay it I spend the month in bed So you'll hold me for a moment I would watch as you was sleeping To make sure you were still breathing You live so fast without seeing This eternal youth is fleeting Oh take care of my baby Take care of my baby Take care of my baby I don't think he can do it himself
