Chiquitita Lyrics by Lea Salonga

Chiquitita

[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
