Sun a-shining, there's plenty of life
A new day is dawning, sunny and bright
But after I've been crying all night, the sun is cold
And the new day seems old
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby
Birds are singing and the children are playing
There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying
Not a sad word should my young heart be saying
But fun is a bore and with money I'm poor
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby
Next time I'll be kinder
Won't you please help me find her?
Someone just remind her
'Bout this love she left behind her
'Til I find her, I'll be tryin' now
Everyday I'm more inclined to find her
Inclined to find her, inclined to find my baby
Been looking everywhere, baby, I really, really care
Oh, determination is fading fast
Inspiration is a thing of the past
Can't see my hope's gonna last
Good things are bad and what's happy is sad
Since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby
I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad
Everything is a-wrong
I feel so bad, oo, I'll feel so sad
Everything is a-wrong
