Mary Was An Only Child Lyrics

Demis Roussos Mary Was An Only Child

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, You find them shining equally brigth, You migth have seen Jesus and not have known what you saw. Who would notice a gem in a five and dime store?
