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 oh

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 oh

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

And 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 oh
