Hey little baby don't you cry
I been watching from the corner of my eye
you're a keeper if I ever seen one
you're a keeper if I ever need one

You been rockin' yourself to sleep
I been waiting for my soul to keep
all the promises that I made
all the dreams and plans we laid (down)

hey it ain't no crime for loving you
hey t ain't no crime it's what I do

Hey little dreamer are you sleeping
I think that I see you peeking
out from behind the curtain
out from behind the hurtin' yeah

Is it a matter of breaking time
breaking all these ties that bind
can't we just grow them cleaner
tighter wider stronger sleeker

hey t ain't no crime for loving you
hey t ain't no crime it's what I do

Life is a garden, you my friend
grow beside me twist and bend
Life is a garden, you my friend
grow beside me twist and bend

I think that the sun will light our way
and the darkness will make us stay

hey it ain't no crime for loving you
hey it ain't no crime it's what I do
