When I was very young The world was younger than I As merry as a carousel The circus tent was strung With every star in the sky Above the ring you loved so well But now the young world has grown old Gone are the tinsel and the gold Sit there and count your fingers Little girl blue Old girl you're through Just sit there and count your tiny fingers Unhappy little girl blue You just sit there And you count the raindrops falling on you It's the time that you knew That 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 little girl blue?
