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 (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
Trying 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
Since I lost my baby (since I lost my baby)
Oh, since I lost my baby
I feel so sad, so sad, so sad
