The Greatest Discovery

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Peering out of tiny eyes The grubby hands that gripped the rail Wiped the window clean of frost As the morning air laid on the latch [Verse 2] A whistle awakened someone there Next door to the nursery just down the hall A strange new sound you'd never heard before A strange new sound that makes boys explore [Verse 3] Tread neat so small those little feet Amid the morning his small heart beats So much excitement yesterday That must be rewarded, must be displayed [Chorus] Large hands lift him through the air Excited eyes contain him there The eyes of those he loves and knows But what's this extra bed just here? [Verse 4] His puzzled head tips to one side Amazement swims in those bright green eyes Glancing down upon this thing That make strange sounds, strange sounds that sing [Verse 5] In those silent happy seconds That surround the sound of this event A parent's smile is made in moments They have made for you a friend [Chorus] And all you ever learned from them Until you grew much older Did not compare with when they said "This is your brand-new brother" [Outro] "This is your brand-new brother" "This is your brand-new brother"
