Lyrics
Big Day, Little Boat
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Sleep my little baby while you can.
Stay up all night and be tired.
Sleep my little angel like a lamb.
But unlike the sheep follow no man.
Tomorrow's your big day to show off your smile.
Smile. Smile for everyone.
You may fly to Paris in a dream.
Free in the sky like a real bird.
You may not accomplish anything.
If you don't sleep you'll be lazy - baby.
Tomorrow's your big day to show off your smile.
Smile. Smile for everyone.
Drift like a little boat on a wave.
Drift like a little boat on a wave.
Drift like a little boat on a wave.
Tomorrow's your big day to show off your smile.
Smile. Smile for everyone.
Sail through the sea of sad faces with love.
Love. Love for everyone.
Drift like a little boat on a wave.
