Melancholy Baby

Come a change of weather, comes a change of heart

Who will know when the rains will start?

My baby broke her promise, should I be upset?

Daylight says remember...moonlight forget.

Beauty disguises what it’s holding back

Some days when her eyes shine, her thoughts are black

Like a little child she can do no wrong

And I’ll pick her up each time she falls down

Meanwhile baby!... oh! sweet baby!

Night’s scent is her presence, night’s secret her face.

I speak when she’s sleeping, silent when she wakes.

Clouds gather and darken, our future foretell

Rains comin’ often and loves a brief spell

Like the saddest word, she awaits her song

And I’ll pick her up each time she falls down

Meanwhile baby!... oh! sweet baby!

We’ve got a lot to learn about love in this life...

My melancholy baby

In the palm of my hand, I’ll hold a little you

I’ll put you in my pocket when you’re feelin’ blue

Zing zing a zang go the strings of my heart

Cling cling a clang I’ll never let you part

Oh! sweet baby!
