Ella Fitzgerald - Little Girl Blue lyrics

When you were very young The world was younger than you As merry as a carousel The circus tent was thrilling With every star in the sky Above the rings you loved so well Now the young world has grown old Gone is 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 Unhappy little girl blue Sit there, and count the raindrops Falling on you It's time 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 little boy To cheer up little girl blue?
