Song byDon McLean

in AlbumThe Best Of Don McLean

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 untrue. So be

good to yourself, that's all you can do. You're a

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... Ooh...
