Malta: Mary Spiteri - Little Child

Little child, your look - it pains me

It's an answer your eyes seek

Can't you see what shadow of a soul

I've come to be tired of the scene



Little child, come sit beside me

It's so much I have to say

Stay as free as high winds on the seas

No destiny bringin' lonely tears



Smile, live today, and leave the past behind

Live it up day by day, and surely you may find

That both sorrow and tomorrow

Aren't worth a thought or two

Look at me and teach me to live again



Little child, your look elates me

It's an answer your eyes give

Now, you see, I'm on the road again

I'm bringin' out what child there's in me



Smile, live today, and leave the past behind

Live it up day by day, and surely you may find

That both sorrow and tomorrow

Aren't worth a thought or two

Look at me and teach me to live again

Live again



Sing, live today, this moment can't endure

Oh... let us reach for the stars - we'll make it, I'm that sure

Be it sadness, be it gladness, we can start it all anew

Look at me, look at me, and the sun comes shining through
