Text: Diana Ross. Stolen Moments: The Lady Sings Jazz & Blues. Little Girl Blue.

When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel

The circustent was strong
With every star in the sky
Above the ring, I loved so well

Now the young world has grown old
Gone are the tinsel and gold

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do?
Oh girl, you're through
All you can count on are your fingers
Unlucky, little girl blue

Sit there and count the raindrops falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can count on are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue

No use, oh girl
You may as well surrender
Your hope is getting slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer little girl blue?
