since i lost my baby

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

oh 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

oh since i lost my baby

my baby

my baby

my baby

next time i'll be kinder

to my lady

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 to

everyday i'm growing kinder

tryin' to find her

find her

inclined to find my baby

i've been looking everywhere

hey baby i really really care

my determination is fading fast

so fast

so fast so fast

exploration is a thing of the past

i can't see how my hope's gonna last

good things are bad and what's happy is sad

so sad

so sad

so sad
