Lyrics Mother and Child Duo - Natalie Dessay

Mother and Child Duo

For a little face, that’s the biggest yawn, look at teddybear
yawning too
All those animals sleeping in your bed, do you really think
there’ll be room for you?
Time to tuck you in, warm and cosy like
Are you comfortable, little love?
Such a sleepy smile, you must surely know all the lovely
things you’ll be dreaming of
Swinging tree-top high, sliding derry down, eating jellybeans
to your heart’s delight
In a fairytale, in a wonderland through the night
I hope that she forgets and leaves my door open
so I can have a little light from the hallway
If I can hear them talking, if I can hear them laughing
I know I won’t be frightened, maybe
At night I know it’s just my chair, the nice red one
But it looks different than it looks in the daytime
Sometimes I think it’s moving,
a big enormous monster
A dinosaur,
A dragon,
Maybe
I close my eyes and there are ghosts and witches
I’m scared the wicked witch will eat me
Oh how i wish it wasn’t always dark at night
For a little face, that’s the biggest yawn,
I hope that she forgets and leaves my door open,
look at teddybear, yawning too
so I can have a little light from the hallway
All those animals sleeping in your bed,
If I can hear them talking, if I can hear them laughing
do you really think, there’ll be room for you?
I know I won’t be frightened, maybe
Time to tuck you in, warm and cosy like
At night I know it’s just my chair, the nice red one
Are you comfortable, little love?
But it looks different than it looks in the daytime
Such a sleepy smile, you must surely know
Sometimes I think it’s moving,
all the lovely things you’ll be dreaming of
a big enormous monster, a dinosaur or a dragon, maybe
Swinging tree-top high, sliding derry down,
I close my eyes and there are ghosts and witches
eating jellybeans to your heart’s delight
I’m scared the wicked witch will eat me
In a fairytale, in a wonderland through the night
Oh how i wish it wasn’t always dark at night
Dark at night…
