there was a little boy all he did was cry
this was rather strange there was no reason why
he never had a smile he just shed a tear
all he did was cry when anyone got near
one day in the woods not to far from home
there behind a tree was sat a little gnome
the little boy just looked and jumped up with surprise
the little gnome had noticed the teardrops in his eyes
why are you crying he asked the tearful boy
maybe i can help you and bring you back some joy
the gnome he cast a spell and took his tears away
now the boy was happy and they began to play
the boy he was so glad now his tears had dried
and never cried again no matter how he tried.
