Baby and I.
Adown the twilight river we float. Baby and I together. Gliding along in our little boat. Baby and 1 together. Down to the wonderful land that waits. Where the river flows through the sunset gates. While the silvery stars keep watch and ward As we drift beneath their loving guard, Baby and 1 together. To Slumberland our craft we steer, Baby and I together. Slowly, but surely, our port we near, Baby and I together. Where the Dream-tree spreads its branches wide And scatters rare fruit on every side, Down the twilight river we float along, While lapping waves croon a tender song, Baby and I together. A fair little head is drooping low, Baby and I together. Gently into the harbour go. Baby and I together. Have reached the shore of slumberland By whispering breezes softly fanned, Amid the fleet that are anchored fast, Mush! we are safely moored at last. Baby and I together.
