Wonderful baby, livin' on love the sandman says maybe he'll take you above up where the girls fly on ribbons an' bows where babies float by jus' countin' their toes! Wonderful baby, nothin' but new the world has gone crazy, I'm glad I'm not you at the beginning, or is it the end? Goes in and comes out, an' starts all over again! ( Wonderful baby, livin' in love the sandman says maybe he'll take you above ) up where the girls fly on ribbons an' bows where babies float by just countin' their toes! Wonderful baby, I'll watch while you grow If I knew the future, you'd be first to know but I don't know nothin' of what life's about just as long as you live, you'll never find out! Wonderful baby, nothin' to fear love whom you will but doubt what you hear they'll whisper sweet things an' make you untrue so be good to yourself, that's all you can do ( Wonderful baby . . . wonderful baby! ) . . . up where the girls fly on ribbons an' bows where babies float by just countin' their toes! where babies float by just countin' their toes! ( Wonderful baby . . . wonderful baby! ) Words and Music by Don McLean
