LOVIN' BABY GIRL

From the album CANDLES IN THE RAIN (1970)

I was a lovin' baby girl
Mommy, daddy had I none
Be my mommy, daddy
I will be your lovin' one

Before the time I knew your face dear
I was doing very well
If I never knew your kisses
I'd never known that I'd been in hell

If I had some pennies
I could have a world of fun
Give me all your pennies
And I will be your lovin' one

Once upon a winter time
I lost Christmas in my mind
I looked though all the window 'round
To find a star I hadn't found
Then all at once
Before I knew
Christmas froze my soul into
A cryful night I had a dream
And saw a place I'd never seen

If I had some pennies
I could have a world of fun
Give me all your pennies
And I will be your lovin' one

I was a lovin' baby girl
Mommy, daddy had I none
Be my mommy, daddy
I will be your lovin' one
