lyrics

Come Little Baby
©2007 Alice Bierhorst/BMI

COME LITTLE BABY
Come into this strange world
You are such a brave girl
To grace us with your life

Rest from your journey
Your body must be weary
Now the day is turning
Stay and rest awhile

CHORUS
COME LITTLE BABY
All the world's a-sleepin'
Far across the heavens
Deep into the night
You will be a teacher
You will an anchor
You will meet the darkness
And fill it with your light

COME LITTLE BABY
Come and let me show you
All the ones who knows you
Will know you all your days

So you'll never go hungry
For love and affection
We will help you carry
Carry the weight

CHORUS

COME LITTLE BABY
Life's a grand illusion
A beautiful confusion
Sweet and sad combined

Don't worry 'bout the sorrow
Live like there's no tomorrow
Love until your heart breaks
Then love a little more
