A Little Girl

/Fragile as a leaf in autumn/Just fallin' to the ground/Without a sound/

Kutipan itu menjadi salah satu bagian lirik favorit saya dalam lagu "Seven Years"-nya Norah Jones. Membawa suasana. Entah dari sudut kenangan yang mana.

Seven Years

Spinning, laughing, dancing to
her favorite song
A little girl with nothing wrong
Is all alone

Eyes wide open
Always hoping for the sun
And she'll sing her song to anyone
that comes along

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Crooked little smile on her face
Tells a tale of grace
That's all her own

Fragile as a leaf in autumn
Just fallin' to the ground
Without a sound

Spinning, laughing, dancing to her favorite song
She’s a little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone
A little girl with nothing wrong
And she's all alone

--Norah Jones--
