The sun is shining There's plenty of light 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) Oh, since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby) The birds are singing And the children are playing There's plenty of work And the bosses are paying Not a sad word should A 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) Oh, 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 Of this love she left behind her 'Til I find her I'll be trying 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 how 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) Oh, since I lost my baby (Since I lost my baby) I feel so bad I feel so sad Everything is wrong This heart is hard to carry on I'm lost as can be What's gonna happen to me?
