Little Flower Girl (youtube mix)

[Verse 1] Down by the station every afternoon She’d hum a little lonely tune Basket full of roses bright Smilin’ through the London night [Chorus] Oh, little flower girl Spinnin’ round the world Petals in your hand Dreamin’ of a better land [Verse 2] Rain came down on cobblestone Still she walked the streets alone Gentle eyes and worn-out shoes Singin’ away the blues [Chorus] Oh, little flower girl Spinnin’ round the world Every passerby Never sees the stars inside [Bridge] One day a man in a velvet coat Bought every flower that she wrote Said, “Keep your head held high tonight You were born to chase the light” [Verse 3] Now she dances by the square Fresh white ribbons in her hair Still she sings that same old song But now the whole town sings along [Final Chorus] Oh, little flower girl You can change the world Petals in the rain Turnin’ sorrow into gain [Outro] La la la, she walks on by Little flower girl beneath the sky La la la, the bells all ring Hear the whole wide city sing
