Cat Stevens - Mary And The Little Lamb Lyrics

Mary had a little lamb, whose fleece was white as snow
And everywhere that Mary went, the lamb was sure to go
It followed her most every day, and it made the people laugh
You'd never see it work or play, and you'd never see it at the grass
Oh they'll be loving a long long time from now, but it'll be too late for him
Oh they'll be kissing and hugging and holding tight, but it'll be too late for him

And people tried to talk to him, but it never made no sense
'Cause just as they were getting through, it'd be jumping another fence
It'd follow in her footsteps, and everywhere she went
It'd see him in there with her, but you'd never be seeing him
Oh they'll be loving a long long time from now, but it'll be too late for him
Yes they'll be kissing and hugging and holding tight, but it'll be too late for him

Now one dark day, a big storm came and it blew Mary's house away
All the walls had vanished, and there was nowhere for Mary to stay
She cried and cried, and looked around, but everything was gone
Except for that one little lamb, he was still holding on
Oh they'll be loving a long long time from now, but there'll be no-one more happy than him
'Cause every night, the moon shines bright, she'll be cuddling up to him
They'll be loving a long long time from now, but there'll be no-one more happy than him
'Cause every night, the stars shine bright, she'll be cuddling up to him
