Sebastian

Sebastian arrived in a cardboard suitcase
 Sealed with a kiss from his Mom
 With a newspaper under his arm
 And over his head
 Alone in the hall with his back to the wall
 You could see he was one of a few
 He spoke only when spoken to
 And sometimes alone in his bed
 Sing sweet Sebastian
 Sing the sweetest song
 Sing so sweet that while you sleep
 Your melody lingers on
 Sebastian is led to a black-walled room
 Red carpeting covers the floor
 Someone is closing the door
 And raising the blind
 Hiding his eyes so they won't looked surprised
 When the hand reaches down for the note
 The one that his mother wrote
 And tied by a string to his neck
 Sing sweet Sebastian
 Sing the sweetest song
 Sing so sweet that while you sleep
 Your melody lingers on
 Waiting for the sunrise
 And the rest of his life to begin
 Sebastian is wearing a grin under his nose
 Out on the grass, he can hear it at last
 The rush of a bird to his home
 Then, while unpacking a comb
 He thinks of a song that he knows
 Sing sweet Sebastian
 Sing the sweetest song
 Sing so sweet that while you sleep
 Your melody lingers on
 Sing sweet Sebastian
 Sing the sweetest song
 Sing so sweet that while you sleep
 Your melody lingers on
