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
