BLUES FOR THE YOUNG GIRL GONE

Writers: 

Carole King and Toni Stern

Lyrics: 

Sing a song of sorrow
For the young girl who's gone away
She had to return to where she came from
How I wish she would stay, even for one more day

I only knew her a little while
But I'll never forget the time
When we stood on the bridge at the edge of the world
And she asked what was on my mind
Tell me what's on your mind

And I sang a song of sadness
For the moments forever lost
She had to return to where she came from
Though the seasons have changed, loneliness still remains

The cool, clear sunshine mornings
With honey-flavored tea
And the notebooks she kept on the things that she loved
Were open for me to see
All her secrets for me to see, for me to see

And I sang a song of sorrow
For the young girl who's gone away
Sing a song of sorrow
For the young girl who's gone away...
