Baby Days

Thanks to Megan Burns, who sent me this song.

Why sleep when the day has been called up by the sun?

From the night 'cause the light’s gonna shine on everyone

Why sleep when sleep only closes up our eyes?

Why sleep when we can watch the sun arise?

Chorus:

We were meant to see the beginning of the day

I believe it was planned to lift us this way

Take you an apple and take you a song

And watch a baby day be born

Take you and apple and take you a song

And watch a baby day be born

Quite, quite said I that’s all very well to say

But I rose before the dawn to your singing yesterday

I couldn’t see the rising cause the dark was in my skies 

I couldn’t see the sun cause the sun was in my eyes

Chorus: (last four lines only)

Why sleep I heard and I followed it today

To the top of the hill where the wind songs play

I sing it like I heard it why I heard it who knows why

Why sleep when you can watch the sun arise

Chorus: (all)

End Refrain:

Take you an apple and take you a song

Take back an answer to something gone wrong

Take you some music and take me along

And watch a baby day be born

Take you an apple and take you a song 

And watch a baby day be born
