Lyrics
My baby runs
My baby's energetic and active
My baby runs
Emphasizes the repeated, consistent nature of the baby's actions
My baby runs like the river wide
My baby moves freely and abundantly, similar to a wide river
My baby runs like the river wide
Reiteration of the baby's fluid and unrestricted movements
My love keeps time
My love maintains a steady rhythm
My love keeps time
Indicates the continuous and consistent nature of love
My love keeps time like a jeweled watch
Love is compared to a precious and accurate timekeeping device
My love keeps time like a jeweled watch
Reiterates the precision and value of love in keeping time
My love goes down
Love descends gracefully
My love goes down
Reinforces the descending nature of love
My love goes down like a diving swan
Love descends smoothly, likened to a swan diving
My love goes down like a diving swan
Repetition for emphasis on the graceful descent of love
My baby rides
My baby moves with speed and force
My baby rides
Reiterates the dynamic and forceful nature of the baby's movement
My baby rides like a moving train
Comparison of baby's movement to a powerful, unstoppable train
My baby rides like a moving train
Repetition emphasizes the strength and momentum of the baby's ride
My baby sings
My baby expresses joyfully
My baby sings
Reiterates the joyful nature of the baby's expression
My baby sings like a jaybird in a tree
Comparison of baby's singing to a lively jaybird in a tree
My baby sings like a jaybird in a tree
Repetition emphasizes the vibrant and melodious singing of the baby
My baby runs
Repetition of the baby's energetic and unrestricted movement
My baby runs
Emphasizes the consistent and persistent nature of the baby's actions
My baby runs like the river wide
Reiterates the free-flowing and expansive movement of the baby
My baby runs like the river wide
Repetition for emphasis on the river-like motion of the baby
