Take Me Back To Babyland 1909

Do you ever have a longing
for the days of long ago?
Do you ever feel you've paid the price
for ev'rything you know?
And when your heart is heavy,
and you don't know how you stand,
Do you ever wish you could go back
to days in Babyland?

Take me back to babyland
and please don't let me grow,
Take me back where Santa Claus
comes driving through the snow;
Tell again of Cinderella
and her prince so grand,
Let me be a child once more,
back in Babyland.

There the meaning of tomorrow
is quite a diff'rent thing,
Perhaps a broken toy or two
is the most that it can bring
But childish troubles vanish
you're not meant to understand,
you only see the rainbows
those days in Babyland.

Take me back to babyland
and please don't let me grow,
Take me back where Santa Claus
comes driving through the snow;
Tell again of Cinderella
and her prince so grand,
Let me be a child once more,
back in Babyland.
