Lea Salonga Chiquitita Lyrics

Chiquitita Lyrics

(B. Andersson/B. Ulvaeus)
Chiquitita, tell me what`s wrong
You`re enchained by your own sorrow
In your eyes, there is no hope for tomorrow

How I hate to see you like this
There is no way you can deny it
I can see that you`re oh, so sad, so quiet

Chiquitita, tell me the truth
I`m a shoulder you can cry on
Your best friend, I`m the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself
Now I see you`re broken and fed up
I hope we can patch it up together

Refrain:
Chiquitita, you and I know
How the heartaches come and they go
And the scars, they`re leavin`
You`ll be dancin` once again
And the pain will end
You will have no time for grievin`
Chiquitita, you and I cried
But the sun is still in the sky
And shining above you
Let me hear you sing once more
Like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more, like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita

So the walls came tumblin` down
And your love`s turned lonely and dreadful
All is gone and it seems too hard forever

Chiquitita tell me the truth
There is no way you can deny it
All I see that you`re, oh so sad, so quiet

(Repeat Refrain)

Coda:
Try once more, like you did before
Sing a new song, Chiquitita
