Intro

Twilight comes; the day turns low.
Toto Turtle walks home slow.

Verse 1

From the lettuce patch he goes.
Step by step, his pathway shows.
Round blue birdbath is the first.
Toto knows he is not lost.

Chorus

One small step, then one step more.
Follow things you knew before.
Birdbath, stones, and wooden gate,
Slow is fine; no need to race.

Verse 2

Yellow stones make one straight row.
Beside the stones does Toto go.
Old wood gate is marker three.
Home is just beyond, you see.

Chorus

One small step, then one step more.
Follow things you knew before.
Birdbath, stones, and wooden gate,
Slow is fine; no need to race.

Bridge

Past the gate, his home is near.
Toto smiles without a fear.
Inside warm, he settles down.
Crickets sing their twilight sound.

Final Chorus

One small step brought Toto home.
He did not have far to roam.
Birdbath, stones, and wooden gate,
Guided him at turtle pace.

Outro

Crickets chirp so soft and low.
Good night, Toto, safe at home.
