lovely child (JCH -- 6/93)
lovely child, sweet eyes of blue
when will happiness find you
lovely child, sweet locks of gold
you’ve been bought, dealt, and sold

but don’t give up hope
and don’t let yourself down
keep the love in your heart
and things will turn around

lovely child, my only friend
someday soon your pain will end
lovely child, my one sweet dream
happiness is a treasure it seems
