There, little girl, don't cry!
They have broken your doll, I know,
And your teaset blue,
And your playhouse too,
Are things of the long ago.

But childish troubles will soon pass by,
There, little one, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!
There, little girl, don't cry!
They have broken your slate, I know,
And the glad wild ways
Of your schoolgirl days,
Are things of the long ago.

But life and love will soon come by,
There, little girl, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!
There, little girl, don't cry!
They have broken your heart, I know,
And the rainbow gleams
Of your youthful dreams,
Are things of the long ago.

But Heav'n holds all for which you sigh,
There, little girl, don't cry, don't cry, don't cry!
