Intro

        

Verse 1

Daddy's baby, what's got you think- ing
What's got you sinking so low? 
Is there something I should know, 
something new to you?

Verse 2

Daddy's baby, fussing and fret - ting,
keeping on getting it wrong.
She can only last so long 
She's going for a song,

Verse 3

so sing her a lull-a- by - bye
Baby don't like to cry 
So sing her a lullaby-bye 
Swaddle and swing her
Sing her a lulla-by

Verse 4

She makes her feelings known to me
Her every side is shown to me
And in our time alone
Bm7 Gmaj7* G#m7-5 C#7 F#maj7
my love has surely grown of its own
solid as a stepping stone 
as silently as the dawn was breaking, soft and clear
and my tears were dry and my fears had flown
so I called my love my home
