Hap Palmer
A New World to Explore
What do you see, my baby
What do you see, my love?
Are you looking out the window
At the stars above?
Do you see the paintings
Hanging on the wall?
Or your Teddy bear up on the shelf
Beside your bright blue ball?
All the world is fresh and new
A mystery to you
But now it's time to sleep, my dear
Knowing I'll be near

Chorus:
Close your eyes
Let me rock you off to sleep
A peaceful slumber calm and deep
Keep you safe through the night
To greet the morning light
Close your eyes
Tomorrow is a bright new day
The sun will send a golden ray
Wake you up in the morn
With a new world to explore
What do you see, my baby?
Innocent eyes aglow
What you spy with open wonder
I may not always know
Do you see your dolly
Lying on the rug
Or that spider as she weaves her web
To catch a flying bug?
All the world is fresh and new
A mystery to you
But now it's time to sleep, my dear
Knowing I'll be near
Repeat Chorus:
Close your eyes, close your eyes
Close your eyes, close your eyes
