(Albert Hammond, Mike Hazlewood and Jorge Milchberg)
|
Mary was an only child,
|
Nobody held her, nobody smiled.
|
She was born in a trailer, wretched and poor,
|
And she shone like a gem in a five and dime store.
|
|
Mary had no friends at all,
|
Just famous faces pinned to the wall.
|
All of them watched her, none of them saw
|
That she shone like a gem in a five and dime store.
|
|
And if you watch the stars at night,
|
And find them shining equally bright,
|
You might have seen Jesus and not have known what you saw.
|
Who would notice a gem in a five and dime store?
