Mary consoles them that the things they have lost (i.e., their mother) are still with them… Read More [MARY POPPINS]Do you ever lieAwake at night?Just between the darkAnd the morning lightSearching for the thingsYou used to knowLooking for the placeWhere the lost things goDo you ever dreamOr reminisce?Wondering where to findWhat you truly missWell maybe all those thingsThat you love soAre waiting in the placeWhere the lost things goMemories you've sharedGone for good you fearedThey're all around you stillThough they've disappearedNothing's really leftOr lost without a traceNothing's gone foreverOnly out of placeYou might also likeSo maybe now the dishAnd my best spoonAre playing hide and seekJust behind the moonWaiting there untilIt's time to showSpring is like that nowFar beneath the snowHiding in the placeWhere the lost things goTime to close your eyesSo sleep can come aroundFor when you dream you'll findAll that's lost is foundMaybe on the moonOr maybe somewhere newMaybe all you're missing lives inside of youSo when you need her touchAnd loving gazeGone but not forgottenIs the perfect phraseSmiling from a starThat she makes glowTrust she's always thereWatching as you growFind her in the placeWhere the lost things goEmbedCancel

How to Format Lyrics:

• Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
• Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
• Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
• Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
• If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
