rosemary lyrics

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

Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold
Her flowered dress is tattered and soiled
Tear stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare
Who could have left a child so rare?

Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
And stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart

A burning heart and tired eyes
Howling winds for lullabys
No one there to soothe her fright
Nowhere to turn but the inward light

Because life is for believing
That your heart can turn to gold
All you need is Christ to receive it
But there's eternal life for every soul, ooh yeah

Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
And stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart

Rosemary, Rosemary, Rosemary
He loves you, He needs you, He wants you
So don't let Him down

Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
And stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart
Yeah yeah

Rosemary, I get the right to know
Singing Rosemary, na na na na na na
Rosemary

Rosemary, come on now yeah
Got to keep the faith yeah
Keep the faith
