Mountain eyes, peeping out if his 
head (-ah)
Sipping tea, composing in his bed 
(-ah)
A hundred hands working on a musical
       C
 of old
   C        Am            C       
Debussy and Mendelssohn Handel and
 Am        C
 Dvorak of old

C                            
Child star, protegee of Mister

Child star, they do not see just 
                   Am
what a precious gem you'd be

Twelve years old, your elvish 
fingers kiss your
Beethoven hair the awesome people 
stare
They're un-aware of all the angel 
                       C
sounds they see and hear

  C         Am            C       
Debussy and Mendelssohn Handel and
 Am          C
 Dvorak they hear

C

C                              
Child star, and when you died at 
                              Am
just thirteen they wept and wrung 
their hair

(slightly slower)
D
Sad to see them mourning you and you
 are there within the flowers and 
the trees
