Rosalinda lyrics
by Billy Joel



Oh

Rosalinda Why do you cry?

Oh

Rosalinda Could this be why?

Now that there's nothing left to do

Now that the children have all grown

Now all you have is just a cat and a silent telephone



Oh

Rosalinda. Why do you weep?

Oh

Rosalinda. Alone you sleep.

But the neighbours turn away

What will it take for them to learn

That all you want is to love and

To be loved in return



Oh

Rosalinda. We've gone away.

Oh

Rosalinda. Still you stay.

Being what you've always been.

And doing what you've always done.

How can we give you back the time

You gave to us when you were young?



(Humming)



Oh

Rosalinda. Turn out the light.

Oh

Rosalinda. Say goodnight.

Now that the children have all grown.

Now that we've all gone away.

Now that you're sitting at your home

Without a word to say.



(Humming)
