Chorus:
A#             A7
Wonderful baby, living on love,
    A#                         G7
the sandman says maybe, he'll take you above.
C7                          F#7
Up where the girls fly on rhythms and bows,
       A#                  F#7              F
where babies float by just counting their toes.

Wonderful baby
Nothing but new
The world has gone crazy
I'm glad I'm not you
At the beginning or is it the end?
It goes in and comes out and starts over again

Chorus

D#                D#m7
Wonderful baby, I watch while you grow,
   A#                      G7
if I knew the future you'd be first to know,
    C7                       F#7
but I don't know nothing of what life's about,
         A#                      F#7         F
just as long as you live, you'll never find out.

Wonderful baby
Nothing to fear
Love whom you will
But doubt what you hear
They'll whisper sweet things to make untrue
So be good to yourself
That's all you can do

Chorus:
You're a wonderful baby
Living on love
The Sandman says maybe he'll take you above
Up where the girls fly on ribbons and bows
Where babies float by just counting their toes
Where babies float by just counting their toes
