Carly Simon - Little Girl Blue

Carly Simon - Little Girl Blue (Live - Carly in concert: My Romance)

When I was very young
The world was younger than I
As merry as a carousel
The circus tent was strung
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 the gold

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do old girl, you're through
Sit there and count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue

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

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

[arriegua1]

@fkd1963 Yes, right.

very special.

i've never seen this outtake before.

[yimheretoday]

great quality to her voice.

[maleficentdiva]

I like Carly's version, its great, but I like Karen Carpenter's more. But Carly and Karen are great singers. They both have those mellow voices, that make you feel like everything will be alright! :)

This is Margaret Whiting's song -- Carly's voice does not work with 40s stuff. I think she is very limited but very good -- but she's no Margaret Whiting -- if you don't believe me, find the Margaret Whiting version and listen.

 i prefer the janis joplin's version

[luveraaab]

luv her!

[upgradingperu]

Carly is the best!

[midnatwil8]

@Maaian I agree I love both of their voices

[Maaian]

I think hers and Linda Rondstadt's versions are the best

[FlyingMondongo]

Not bad, but nobody does it better than Karen Carpenter!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
