Lyrics
Tears down your cheeks,
When I found you,
Last night,
I fell into your heart,
And so I asked.
Why so sad little girl,
Do you need an arm full of roses,
Why so sad little girl,
Do you need someone to hold you?
Why so sad little girl,
Do you need an arm full of roses,
Why so sad little girl,
Do you need someone to hold you?
Be free with me tonight we dance,
The waltz, the moon shines on us,
To be, in love,
In this dream.
Why so sad little girl,
Do you need an arm full of roses,
Why so sad little girl,
Do you need someone to hold you?
Why so sad little girl,
Do you need an arm full of roses,
Why so sad little girl,
Do you need someone to hold you?
Why so sad little girl,
Do you need an arm full of roses
