Mary was an only child..

Mary was an only child - Art Garfunkel

 

 

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 you 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
