There's no pain that fits me
Nobody is happier than me
Today I've been told I'm the father
Of a little boy like me
He'll have the toasted face
The son of my love
The eyes like the sorrows
The lips like carnations
Asleep will be the glow
That copies the crystal of the river
Oh, mother how I love
How I love this son of mine
Asleep will be the glow
That copies the crystal of the river
Oh, mother how I love
How I love this son of mine
Sleep glow of the morning
Sleep pretty boy rock-a-bye
