Lyrics

Sleeping dog by the open fire
You're sleeping your life away
You don't know how far you've got to go
Or the trouble that you'll have to face
Yet all I can do is love you
Provide you with some fun and food
All I can do is love you
And that is what I do
Sleeping children laying in your beds
Tomorrow you'll be back at school
You look so young but you've come so far
You'll never be any soul's fool
All I can do is love you
Provide you with some fun and food
All I can do is love you
And that is what I do
All I can do is love you
Provide you with some fun and food
All I can do is love you
And that is what I do
Now I'm going up to my wife
Baba I pray to you
Love me just a little like I love them
And I can do some sleeping too
All I can do is love you
Provide you with a song
All I can do is love you
Like you've been loving me all along
All I can do is love you
Provide you with a verse or two
All I can do is love you
And that is what I do
