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?
