SINCE I LOST MY BABY

William Robinson, Jr and Warren Moore

(album: Forever, For Always, For Love - 1982)

The sun is shining, there's plenty of light

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

Oh since I lost my baby

The birds are singing and 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)

Oh since I lost my baby

My baby, my baby, my baby

Next time I'll be kinder, to my lady

Won't you please help me find her (I've got to find that girl)

Someone just remind her

Of this love she left behind her

Til I find her I'll be trying to

Everyday I'm growing kinder

Tryin' to find her,find her

Inclined to find my baby (My baby)

I've been looking everywhere (My baby)

Hey baby I really really care

My determination is fading fast

So fast, so fast so fast

Exploration is a thing of the past

I can't see how my hope's gonna last

Good things are bad and what's happy is sad

So sad, so sad, so sad

Chorus and Fade
