Sun a-shining, there's plenty of life 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) Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby) Birds are singing and the children are playing There's plenty of work and the bosses are paying Not a sad word should my 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) Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby) Next time I'll be kinder (next time I'll be kinder) Won't you please help me find her (won't you please help me find her)? Someone just remind her (someone just remind her) 'Bout this love she left behind her ('bout this love she left behind her) 'Til I find her I'll be tryin' now, every day I'm more inclined to find her Inclined to find her, inclined to find my baby Been a-looking everywhere, baby, I really, really care Oh, determination is fading fast Inspiration is a thing of the past Can't see 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) Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby) I feel so bad, oh, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong (since I lost my baby, since I lost my baby)
