With my baby close to my heart, I walk the street.With my baby close to my heart, I fold the laundry. With my baby close to my heart, I eat a sandwich. With my baby close to my heart, I pick up the toys, singing all the while. With my baby close enough to kiss, he nurses. With my baby close enough to kiss, he dreams. With my baby close enough to kiss, he coos, and I smile. With my baby close to my heart, he is at peace. With my baby close enough to kiss, I am free. I wear my baby close to my heart. I wear my baby close enough to kiss.
