I have no answer for you little lamb I can help you out But I cannot help you in Sometimes you think that life is hard And this is only one of them My heart is breaking for you little lamb I can help you out But we may never meet again La La La La La La La La Dragonfly fly by my window You and I still have a way to go Don't know why you hang around my door I Don't live here any more Since you've gone I never know I go on, but I miss you so Dragonfly don't keep me waiting When we try, we'll have a way to go Dragonfly, you've been away too long How did two rights make a wrong Since you've gone I never know I go on but i miss you so In my heart I feel the pain Keeps coming back again Dragonfly fly by my window I'm Flying can't you see me I'm flying You and I can find a way to see Dragonfly, the years ahead will show How little we really know Since you've gone its never right They go on the lonely nights, Come on home and make it right My heart is aching for you little lamb I can help you out But I cannot help you in La La La La La La La La (repeat)
