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

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

Next time I'll be kinder, won't you please help me find her?
Someone just remind 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
I feel so bad, ooh, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong
I feel so bad, ooh, I'll feel so sad, everything is a-wrong
