Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow Chiquitita, tell me the truth I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet 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've broken a feather Chiquitita, you and I know I hope we can patch it up together How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leavin' You'll be dancin' once again and the pain will end Chiquitita, you and I cry You will have no time for grievin' But the sun is still in the sky and shining above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita So the walls came tumblin' down Sing a new song, Chiquitita All is gone and it seems too hard to handle And your love's a blown out candle Chiquitita, tell me the truth I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet There is no way you can deny it
