Friendly strangers were all she knew
  Nobody ever came to call but you
  I would not say she isn't happy
  though the eyes of a fool
  will make her blue
  Nobody's ever seen the tears
  It's true
  I guess nobody wanted to

  We'll have a celebration
  Ice cream and candy cakes
  She's very young to go
  so far away
  And then there'll be the papers
  in black and white
  to say we're through
  Nobody every loved me
  quite like you
  I guess nobody wanted to

  And there'll be roses
  in the springtime still
  I guess there will
  I wish her roses and song
  And she'll be older
  as years go by,
  and how they fly
  Will she be lonely
  without me along?

  She doesn't make friends easily
  She's only known a few
  The incidental stranger
  passing through
  On Sundays and holidays
  I'll take her far away
  We never tried to save
  the love we knew
  I guess nobody wanted to
