When my baby cries, I want to hold him, when my baby cries (2x)
When my baby cries, oooh, tears are in his eyes
When my baby cries I’m going to pick him up
When my baby’s sad, I want to sooth him, when my baby’s sad (2x)
When my baby’s sad, oooh, you know it feels so bad
When my baby’s sad I’m going to hold him close
When my baby smiles, the sun is shining, when my baby smiles (2x)
When my baby smiles oooh, I know he is my child
When my baby smiles I give him all my love
When my baby laughs, my world is turning
When my baby laughs, my river’s rolling
When my baby laughs, oooh, I know the joy we have
When my baby laughs I go to hug him tight, I give him all my love, I’ll never let him go
