SOLVEIG SLETTAHJELL Little Girl Blue

Album: " Slow Motion Orchestra ", (2001)

Sit there and count your fingers
What can you do
Old girl you're through
Sit there, count your little fingers
Unlucky little girl blue.
Sit there and count the raindrops
Falling on you
It's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
Won't you just sit there
Count the little raindrops
Falling on you
'Cause it's time you knew
All you can ever count on
Are the raindrops
That fall on little girl blue
No use old girl
You might as well surrender
'Cause your hopes are getting slender and slender
Why won't somebody send a tender blue boy
To cheer up little girl blue
