lyrics

Baby, baby dear,
Earth and heaven are near
Now, for heaven is here.
Baby, baby dear,

Heaven is every place
Where your flower-sweet face
Fills our eyes with grace.
Heaven is every place

Till your own eyes deign
Earth a glance again,
Earth and heaven are twain.
Till your own eyes deign

Now your sleep is done,
Shine, and show the sun
Earth and heaven are one.
