, (x2)
Hello morning, good, good morning,
To the one I love.
Crystal Ringlets paint a picture,
Of a gold sunrise, a-bove.
Little girl, you're sad, though all you have,
Is visible to you.
With-in your heart, there stay's a part,
That like the sky, is blue.
Shifting breezes grace the inner,
Spectrum of your glance.
Leaves on branches, for your pleasure,
Per-form a soothing dance.
Little girl, it seems in all my dreams,
Your happiness is due.
But still they last, their in your past,
-vents that make you blue.
Middle 8:
Thoughts of love are in your mind,
Yet splintered hopes push them a-side.
A look at life is what you need, to try.
In an instant, there'll be sunshine,
Sprinkled every place.
Drops of rain will, kiss the softness,
Of your lovely face.
Little girl, be fair; show your-self you care,
Let others care for you.
Be-fore it's too late, 'cos time won't wait,
'Till your heart's no longer blue.
Little girl, be smart; don't break your own heart,
There is love waiting for you.
Be-fore it's too late, 'cos time won't wait,
'Till your heart's no longer blue.

It's been...so long,
Since I've trusted in someone else,
Had to see it all for myself.
It's been...so long, that the world seems cold.
But I think it's time, in my life,
To find myself a-gain.
