The sun is shining, there's plenty of light
New day 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

The birds are singing, 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
Someone just remind her
Of this love she left behind her
Next time I'll be kinder
Won't you please help me find her
Till then I'll be trying to
Every day I'm more inclined to
Be kinder
And find her

Oh, determination is fading fast
Inspiration is a thing of the past
Don’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
I feel so bad, I feel so sad
No, no
I feel so bad
