Wanderin along the banks of a river
Couldn’t help but notice your fear
Still searchin for the person in you
Not knowin the you that is true
Oh … my … Lil Darlin
When will we see you smile
Oh … my … Lil Darlin
Don’t go, just stay for a while
At breakfast your smile was so chirpy
Everyone caught the happy in you
But at lunch you kinda surprised us
When we saw you hidin your blue
Oh … my … Lil Darlin
When will we see you smile
Oh … my … Lil Darlin
Don’t go, just stay for a while
At dinner you sing us a love song
The kind we could all sing along
But at supper we saw you cryin
And the sadness lasted til dawn
Oh … my … Lil Darlin
When will we see you smile
Oh … my … Lil Darlin
Don’t go, just stay for a while
If only you’d open your doors
We’d help you mop up the floors
We promise we’ll make you smile
Even though it’ll take us a while
Oh … my … Lil Darlin
When will we see you smile
Oh … my … Lil Darlin
Don’t go, just stay for a while
