Wiped the window clean of frost, as the morning air laid on the latch

Tread neat so small those little feet, a-mid the morning his small heart beats.

  The eyes of those he loves and knows.  But what's this extra bed just here?
[Verse 3]
     G                                 Bm/F#
His puzzled head tipped to one side.  Amazement swims in those bright green eyes.

Glancing down upon this thing that makes strange sounds, strange sounds that sing

In those silent happy seconds that sur-round the sound of this event
