"You Humble Me"
(Sung by Ami Peacock; Kurt Smith, Vickie Murphy on guitar)
Refrain: Little baby, little baby,
won't you tell me your name?
Little baby, little baby,
how was it you came?
I hold you so close
but still cannot say
what great mystery has sent you my way.
(1) I look into your precious eyes:
they seem so full and bright;
innocent, yet somehow too
deep down they look wise.
How this can be
I'll never know;
you humble me, baby,
humble me, with your eyes.
(2) I trace the lines on your pudgy hands,
so tiny yet so grand;
the games they'll play,
the work they'll do,
are they part of some plan?
Truth lies beyond
what I understand.
You humble me, baby,
humble me, with your hands.
(3) (optional) I touch the toes on your naked feet,
so delicate and weak;
where will they go,
what places dance,
to what rhythms and beats?
Their journey is not
for me to complete.
You humble me, baby,
humble me, with your feet.
