Billy Fury - Nobody's Child lyrics

I was slowly passing an orphan's home one day
And stopped there for a moment
Just to watch the children play
Alone a boy was standing and
When I asked him why
He turned with eyes that could not
See and he began to cry

I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child

People come for children and take
Them for their own
But they all seem to pass me
By and I am left alone
I know they'd like to take me
But when they see I'm blind
They always take some other child
And I am left behind

No mother's arms to hold me or
Soothe me when I cry
Sometimes it gets so lonely here I
Wish that I could die
I'd walk the streets of heaven where
All the blind can see
And just like all the other kids
There'd be a home for me

I just can't seem to figure out why
The folks all pass me by
Cause I know that it's true that God takes
Little blind children with him in the sky
And they tell me that I'm oh so pretty and
They seem to like my big curls of gold
But then they take some other little child
And I'm left here all alone

I'm nobody's child I'm nobody's child
I'm like a flower just growing wild
No mommy's kisses and no daddy's smiles
Nobody wants me I'm nobody's child
