Baby's fishing for a dream, fishing far and wide, His line is just a silvery beam, his bait a silvery star. There's more. Does anyone know it? |

Baby's boat's a silver moon Sailing o'er the sky He sails across a sea of dreams (?) As the stars float by Sail baby, sail Out across the sea Only don't forget to sail Back again to me Baby's fishing for a dream Fishing near and far His line a silver moonbeam is, His bait a silver star Check out replies to I Don't Want to Play in Your Yard because someone gave a version of Sail baby there. |
