Lyrics

[Verse 1]
Little Mary was five years old
Her parents left her, she was out in the cold
Alone to live and find her way
In this great world of heartache and pain
[Verse 2]
Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold
Her flowered dress is tattered and torn
Tear-stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare
Who could have left a child so rare?
[Verse 3]
Rosemary, your day will come
He loved you so, He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul, stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please, hold onto the beads at your heart
[Verse 4]
A burning heart and tired eyes
Howling winds for lullabies
No one there to soothe her fright
Nowhere to turn but the inward light
[Verse 5]
Because life is for believing
That your heart is can turn to gold
All you need is Christ to receive it
And there's eternal life for every soul
Ooh, yeah
[Verse 6]
Rosemary, your day will come
He loved you so, He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul, stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please, hold onto the beads at your heart
[Verse 7]
Rosemary
Rosemary
He loves you
He needs you
He wants you
So don't let Him down
[Verse 8]
Rosemary, your day will come
He loved you so, He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul, stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please, hold onto the beads at your heart, oh
Yeah, yeah
[Verse 9]
Rosemary
Singin', Rosemary
Ro-oh-oh-yeah
Rosemary
