A letra:
Wonderful
baby livin' on love
The sandman says maybe he'll take you
above,
Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows,
Where babies
float by just
Counting 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?
It goes in and comes out and starts
over again.
Wonderful baby livin' on love
The sandman says
maybe he'll take you above,
Up where the girls fly on ribbons and
bows,
Where babies float by, just
Counting 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 to make you untrue.
So be good to yourself, that's all
You can do.
You... Wonderful
baby, livin' on love the sandman says maybe he'll
Take you
above,
Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows,
Where
babies float by, just counting their toes,
Where babies float by,
just counting their toes
Oh.
