Lyrics Little Girl Blue - Stacey Kent, Simon Thorpe & Jasper Kviberg

When I was very young, the world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung with ever star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well
Now the young world has grown old, gone are the silver 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 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 might as well surrender
Your hopes are getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy to cheer up little girl blue

No use old girl
You might as well surrender
Your hopes are getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue
