When baby feet go pit-a-patter
And the sound of childish chatter
Sweetly falls upon my ears,
Then I travel down the years
And live again days of the past
When baby fingers held me fast.
O baby girl! With your hair of gold,
You'll comfort me when I am old --
Your childish ways, the things you say
Fill me with rapture day by day,
I feel you'll always be a part,
Next to your mother, in my heart.
