Little Child
The Beatles · With The Beatles (Remastered) [2009]
little child won't you dance with me
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby take a chance with me
Little child, little child
little child won't you dance with me
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby take a chance with me
If you want someone to make you feel so fine
Then we'll have some fun when you're mine
So come on, come on, come on
Little child, little child
little child won't you dance with me
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby take a chance with me, wow
When you're by my side you're the only one
Don't you run and hide just come on, come on
So come on, come on, come on
Little child, little child
little child won't you dance with me
I'm so sad and lonely
Baby take a chance with me oh yeah,
baby take a chance with me oh yeah,
Baby take a chance with me oh yeah
Little Child - The Beatles
Recorded during the band's 1963 tour of the United States, "Little Child" stands as a poignant example of The Beatles' early songwriting collaboration between John Lennon and Paul McCartney. The track features a distinctive, upbeat tempo that contrasts with its melancholic lyrics, which reflect on the fleeting nature of childhood and the passage of time. Originally released on the album "With The Beatles" in 1963, the song was later reissued in a remastered version in 2009. Its inclusion in the band's live performances, such as those captured on "Live At The Bbc," highlights its enduring appeal and the group's ability to blend personal sentiment with catchy pop melodies. The recording remains a significant part of The Beatles' early discography, showcasing their development as a studio and live act during their formative years.
