Lyrics
The Babe Inside
When a child says "I love you,"
and her eyes light up they way they do,
here's the reason you're so pleased
you go all sweet and blue:
the baby saw the babe inside of you,
the baby saw the babe inside of you.
Running wild is always new,
as you hide the babe away from view:
grown-up seasons pull and tease you?
hard and so untrue?
but small things see the small things
showing through:
the baby saw the babe inside of you.
When the child says "I love you,"
and your eyes fill up they way they do,
here's the reason you're so pleased
you go all sweet and blue:
the baby saw the babe inside of you,
the baby saw the babe inside of you.
