The Innocence of Babies is a tender reflection on purity, love, and the way we shape the next generation. Originally written as a poem in 1976 by George S. Chandler — just a year after his niece Donna (Dean's sister) was born — it’s now reimagined in a timeless Sinatra-style ballad. With a nostalgic Godfather-era swing, the song flows like a lullaby for a world that’s lost its innocence but still remembers what it means to care.

Orchestral strings, soft piano, and warm horns frame the vocal — smooth, cinematic, and filled with heart. It’s a song that reminds us of the beauty in simplicity, and the quiet truth that children learn from the world we show them.

A collaboration between George S. Chandler & Dean R. Chandler — honouring the past, through music that never ages.

THE INNOCENCE OF BABIES

[Verse 1]
The innocence of babies
Is a wonder to behold
It seems such a pity
That they must grow old

[Verse 2]
Look at that little girl
What will be her life?
Hope that she grows up to be
Someone’s happy wife

[Pre-chorus]
Look at that baby boy
So fast asleep
He’s trusting in you, you know
His future to keep

[Chorus]
Look at those infants
How they laugh and play
Wish the rest of their lives
Could be like today

[Verse 3]
School is over
Listen to them cheer
Hand in hand as they walk home
No colour problems here

[Verse 4]
But as they grow older
What will they be?
It’s no use blaming them, you know
They copy you and me

[Pre-chorus]
Look at the little girl
As her first baby cries
Look at the love
That’s there in her eyes

[Chorus] 
Look at those children
How they laugh and play
Wish the rest of their lives
Could be like today
Oh, look at those children
How they laugh and play
Wish the rest of their lives
Could be like today

[Instrumental]

[Outro spoken]
The innocence of babies
Is a wonder to behold
It seems such a pity
That they must grow old
Enhance lyrics (e.g. "make it sound happier")
The ballad opens with a sparse solo piano motif, delicate and expressive. Soft strings gently join, layering lush harmonies beneath the melody. Light woodwinds—flute and clarinet—add warmth in countermelodies. Arrangements remain transparent, with subtle dynamic swells, ideal for tender vocal or spoken lines.
