Van Dyke Parks - Baby lyrics

[Verse 1]: Nothing so bright Nothing so smooth Nothing so pure As my baby [Verse 2]: All of my life Days into night All I did dream Was my baby [Verse 3]: Until the day Darkness entwined With silver eyes Was my baby staring At me [Interlude]: And since then I can't see straight And since then my smile's been fake [Verse 4]: Funny I know The troubles I've seen But through one eye only That's clear [Verse 5]: If you bring along your needles Then I'll bring my sharpened pencils And draw one more comic tragedy My baby [Verse 6]: So call up the child players From madam we'll rent the parlor And dance to d**h Till I can't see My baby
