Little Girl Blue

When you were very young The world was younger than you As merry as a carousel The circus tent was strung With every star in the sky Above the ring you loved so well Now the young world has grown old Gone are the tinsel and gold Sit there and count your fingers What can you do? Old girl, you're through (Just) Sit there and count your little fingers Unlucky (Unhappy) Little girl blue Sit there and count the raindrops Falling on you, it's time you knew All you can count on are the raindrops That fall on little girl blue No use, old girl, you may as well surrender Your hopes are getting slender Why won't somebody send A tender blue boy to cheer up little girl blue
