There are little eyes upon you,
And they’re watching night and day,
There are little ears that quickly
Take in every word you say.

There are little hands all eager
To do anything you do;
And a little child who’s dreaming,
Of the day he’ll be like you.

You’re the little baby’s idol,
You’re the wisest of the wise,
In his little mind about you
No suspicions ever rise.

He believes in you devoutly,
Stores all you say and do;
He will say an do, in your way
When he’s grown up just like you.

There’s a wide-eyed little baby
Who believes you’re always right;
And his eyes are always opened,
And he watches day and night.

You are setting an example
Every day in all you do:
For the little child who’s waiting
To grow up to be like you.
