How's this, Sheye? -Joe Offer-

LITTLE BOY LOST
Lyrics by Marilyn & Alan Bergman
Music by Michel LeGrand

(from the motion picture, "Pieces of Dreams")

Little boy lost
In search of little boy found
You go a wondering, wandering,
Stumbling, tumbling round, round...
When will you find what's on the tip of your mind?
Why are you blind to all you ever were,
Never were, really are, nearly are?

Little boy false
In search of little boy true
Will you be ever done traveling,
Always unraveling you, you?
Running away could lead you further astray
And as for fishing in streams for pieces of dreams,
Those pieces will never fit. What is the sense of it?

Little boy lost,
Don't let your little sheep roam.
It's time, come blow your horn, meet the morn,
Look and see, can you be
Far from home?

Another song on the same theme is Little Girl Blue, by Rodgers & Hart.
