Della Reese - Little Girl Blue Lyrics

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Oh girl you're through
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 oh girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer little girl blue

When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel

The circus tent was strong
With every star in the sky
Above the ring I loved so well

Now the young world has grown quite old
It's all gone the tinsle and gold

Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's about time you knew
That all you can count on are just the raindrops
And just those that fall on little girl blue

No use oh girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer little girl blue
