Wake up, Nico, the birds are singing your song, dear
Get up and get out of bed, the days are not long here
You can’t sleep them all away
You can’t sleep them all away

I’m sorry, Nico, that I’ve been gone for so long, dear
Your little face in my hands, I’ll wipe away your tears
And maybe cry some of my own

You know, Nico, your dad and I really love you
As sure as the stars in the sky up above you
So sleep well, Nico, the moon is in your sky, boy
I’m on my way to you as fast as birds fly

Oh baby, I’m gonna fly
Oh baby, I’m gonna fly
I’m gonna fly
