"Rosemary's Baby" Inquiry

A minor mystery concerning the film Rosemary's Baby which I thought I'd toss out in case some 600Cer has a Satanic Sherlock Holmes talent:
In the film's soundtrack there is a vocal rock song. In the original soundtrack album it is entitled "Rosemary's Party", but in the recently-released expanded soundtrack it is retitled "Dream". [In the aforementioned original album, the title "Dream" is used for an entirely different track, which in the expanded album is now called "Coven #2". Several other original track titles have been reassigned or changed in the expanded album - why I have no idea.] 
Anyway I have always been curious about the lyrics to that song, which are only intermittently clear when listening. But they are not included with the album, nor have I had any luck with a Google-search. So if anyone here has any ideas, I'd welcome resolution of this admittedly-trivial mystery.

Is this the one you're looking for?
No, the rock song is not a lullaby. You can hear a short clip from it here; just scroll down to the sample from "8. Dream".

Hush little baby
Angels will tuck you to sleep
Have no illusions
Nightmares will haunt you in dreams
Under devil`s loving care
Nothing`s right and nothing`s fair
World will rock your little cradle
Down to hell
Hush little baby
But keep your blue eyes wide open
Don`t trust the wise men
Too many lies have been spoken
May your life turn out to be
Better than Rosemary`s
Hush my baby , close your eyes
And go to sleep
A version is to be found here.Not bad as lullabies go, but then I'm not entirely sure this is what you were looking for.
Oh, gagmewithaspoon that's horrible! 
Not to mention that Andy's eyes were famously cat's-eye yellow ... 
No, the "Rosemary's Party"/"Dream" song was rock; see above link sample.

I had some free time the other night this is part of my effort to giving the world lyrics to this song Dream by Krzysztof Komeda. This is what I believe I am hearing, sorry it is incomplete.
Dream by Krzysztof Komeda
What kind of thing is this, hanging by a thread
What is it I face, what is that ahead
Moment in time an illusion or real
What will I find if let my heart feel
Will it be fine if it starts right into pain
Then the desires make my world smothered in rain
Right away in a dream, what does this yearning mean, it’s all
(Come)
Now that love really No,
(Please)
Please come and journey No
(Save)
Take me away with you
(Me)
we will be so into
Caught in me, wildly sublime
Blah blah blah blah cause Ill be such a loser for her
(missing second singers lyrics)
Take me with me gently blah but never say I trust me battle
Does it fly, into your mind?
In(its) well heat and cold it does a bowl(boy) to hold
Moment in time I just can’t let you pass bye.
Moment in time, it both asks, means I must try.
Let it be said it be true that I find,
I will connect with my moment in time.
The lyrics in red including but not limited to the blah's are questionable while the rest I'm pretty firm on but will be open to other interpretation.
Jazzy

Interesting, thanks! Perhaps a few more listeners may piece it together. I think the version on the revised soundtrack album is slightly clearer than on the original, BTW.
Mildly surprising that this question apparently hasn't come up previously, since RB was as big a hit in its day as The Exorcist was in its, and everyone knows who wrote "Tubular Bells".
There was at least one rock spinoff from Rosemary's Baby - Deep Purple's "Why Didn't Rosemary [Ever Take the Pill]? - but I guess that wouldn't have worked in the middle of the movie.

There was also a follow up (TV) movie called LOOK WHAT'S HAPPENED TO ROSEMARY'S BABY in 1976.
Pretty silly sequel; one of Stephen McHattie's less memorable roles. Clip here. Amusing that some wag thought to name his sidekick "Peter Simon". [Ba da boom!]

Here are some corrections to my previous interpretation. Most of the blah’s are deciphered, almost there now…
The red is still that which I'm unsure of.

Getting closer ... Tried a copyright search using "Moment in Time" and found this:
Moment in time. From Rosemary's baby. Paramount Pictures Corporation, employer for hire of m Christopher Komeda & w Hal Blair Type of Work: Musical work Registration Number / Date: RE0000730179 / 1996-03-06 EU0000055253 / 1968-05-24 Title: Moment in time. From Rosemary's baby. Paramount Pictures Corporation, employer for hire of m Christopher Komeda & w Hal Blair. Variant title: Moment in time Other Title: Rosemary's baby Copyright Claimant: Famous Music Corporation (PWH) Names: Christopher Komeda (6 documents) example document: Sleep safe and warm Hal Blair (207 documents) example document: Moods and melodies; folio. w & m Redd Stewart, Hal Blair, Bill Peppers et al Paramount Pictures Corporation (17079 documents) example document: Party man Famous Music Corporation (11597 documents) example document: Goodbye for now Read more: http://www.faqs.org/copyright/thats-where-ill-be-by-paramount-pictures-corporation/#ixzz0qPM5nrGj
Apparently no link to lyrics yet, but now we know the official name of the song at least.
Google doesn't seem to find the lyrics under Blair's name or the title, but he seems to have been a colorful & prolific songwriter. Funny to find his hand in something like Rosemary's Baby.
Well, in a last resort, I [or someone else sooner] can eventually drop into the Library of Congress Copyright Office and eyeball the file in question!

Well, I started with Ta2zz' latest above, then listened to the song on both the original and the revised albums (two different sessions). I compared my "ears" with Ta2zz', then jotted down my version, then asked Lilith to read it and listen to both versions. This is what we came up with after all of that:
MOMENT IN TIME
- by Krzysztof Komeda and Hal Blaine
Haven’t seen his face, hanging by a thread.
What is it I face, what is that ahead?
Moment in time, an illusion or real?
What will I find if let my heart feel?
Will it be fine if it starts right into pain?
Can this desire leave my world smothered in rain?
Why are we in this dream,
What does this yearning mean?
It’s all.
(Come)
Now that love really [no],
(Please)
Please come and take me [no].
(Take)
Take me away with you,
(Me)
We will be so into.
Caught in me, wildly sublime.
(Father)
Take me from her, tear her from me,
‘Cause Ill be such a loser for her .
(Daughter)
Take you me with me, take me now,
But never say I trust you better.
Does it fly into your mind?
Is all heat and cold impossible to hold?
Moment in time, I just can’t let you pass by.
Moment in time, in all this means I must try.
Let it be said if it’s truth that I find,
I have the dance with my moment in time.
It would be helpful if there were a "story" to the song, and/or if all of its sentences and fragments made sense, but so far I don't see that. 
So if anyone else wants to give a listen and suggest any further corrections, be my guest!

It kind of reminds me of that abortion of a Bond ballad "Live and Let Die" in the way that it makes no sense to begin with and then goes on to make no contextual sense either.

... they could have subtituted ...
That should be "substituted", but my editing-deathclock tolled too soon. 
Fortunately it makes no difference, since your brains probably autocorrected it. For example, can you read the following? Olny srmat poelpe can.
I cdnuolt blveiee taht I cluod aulaclty uesdnatnrd waht I was rdanieg. The phaonmneal pweor of the hmuan mnid, aoccdrnig to a rscheearch at Cmabrigde Uinervtisy, it denos't mtater in waht oredr the ltetres in a wrod are, the olny iprnoatmt tihng is taht the frist and lsat ltteer be in the rghit pclae. The rset can be a taotl mses and you can sitll raed it wouthit a porbelm. Tihs is bcuseae the huamn mnid deos not raed ervey lteter by istlef, but the wrod as a wlohe. Amzanig huh? yaeh and I awlyas tghuhot slpeling was ipmorantt!
