Blanky’s beside you on the bed
Now it’s safe under your head
Why you wake at five thirty
Is a mystery to me
Penguins on your calendar
Princesses on your comforter
Door to your room is open wide
Like the one inside my heart
Here we are together
Here we are together
Here we are together
And I’m so glad we are
Together
And when things aren’t going right
If you wake up before it’s light
Even when we’re far apart
Just close your eyes and smile
Remembering
Here we are together
Here we are together
Here we are together
And I’m so glad we are
Together
