Little Mary was five years old
Her parents left her, she was out in the cold
Alone to live and find her way

In this great world of heartache and pain

Eyes of brown, matted locks of gold

Her flowered dress is tattered and soiled
Tear stained cheeks, her feet cold and bare
Who could have left a child so rare


Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son

Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please

Hold onto the beads at your heart

A burning heart and tired eyes

Howling winds for lullabys
No one there to soothe her fright
Nowhere to turn but the inward light

Because life is for believing
That your heart can turn to gold
All you need is Christ to receive it

There's eternal life for every soul

Rosemary your day will come

He loved you so He gave His only son
Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees

I'm begging you please
Hold onto the beads at your heart


Rosemary, Rosemary
He loves you
He needs you

He wants you
So don't let him down


Singing
Rosemary your day will come
He loved you so He gave His only son

Keep the faith in your soul
Stay down on your knees
I'm begging you please

Hold onto the beads at your heart

Yeah yeah,

Rosemary, singing, Rosemary
Rosemary
Rosemary, come on now yeah

Got to keep the faith yeah
Keep the faith
