How I hate to see you like this
How the heartaches come and they go
There is no way you can deny it
And your love's a blown out candle
And the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Now I see you've broken a feather
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
Try once more like you did before
I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I cry
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
And the sun is still in the sky and shining above you
I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know
You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end
In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
You will have no time for grieving
Try once more like you did before
Try once more like you did before
Chiquitita, you and I know
So the walls came tumbling down
There is no way you can deny it
You will have no time for grieving
I'm a shoulder you can cry on
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars they're leaving
Chiquitita, tell me the truth
Chiquitita, you and I cry
And the scars they're leaving
You were always sure of yourself
Let me hear you sing once more like you did before
