One Small Girl （From 'Once On This Island'） - Musical Cast Recording
One small girl in a tree
Torn from her mother crying in fright
One small girl tossed by sea
And left to face the stormy night
Once small girl holding tight
At last the storm subsided
And the morning sun glowed
And two old peasants
Came cautiously down the road
Mama Euralie
Tonton Julian
Asaka is smiling again, Julian
This morning she smiles. Last night she tried
to blow our heads off
Ah, Julian, just listen to those birds
Coo coo coo coo coo
Coo coo coo coo coo
Aaaahh
What kind of bird is that
Look! There
One small face, two small knees
Why are you up there
What is your name
The girl can't speak
And they're to blame
Away probably meant to kill her
The she'd be dead
It's possible he forgot
The god's don't forget
Then they had some reason to spare
Her life it's best that we don't know what
One small girl better not
But we are too old for children
We have no room, and no food
And not knowing why, they followed
their hearts back to the tree, gently lifted
the terrified child down
No!!! and discovered cheek speak after all
One small girl in the way
Constantly hungry learning too quick
One small girl hard at play
She makes me smile
She scares me sick
And they scolded and teased
And held her
And mended the clothes she tore
And the hut was crowded
And food was scarce
And somehow, their lives held more
One small girl to live for
They named her Desiree Dieu-Donne or
God-Given Desire. But in their affection, they
called simply Ti Moune
What does Ti Moune mean, Mama
It means little orphan. Saved by the gods for
something special what is it
Ti Moune, if we knew why the gods did the
things they do, we would be gods ourselves
Someday I'm going to ask them, Mama
Sweet as a eucalyptus
And terrible as a tempest
Banging a drum and humming a tune
Ti Moune
Falling and running and calling
And growing and growing
And growing up too soon
One small girl
Not so small
Lost in those daydreams
Day after day
Ooh way ooh
Call her name
No, don't call
Ooh way ooh
Her ears don't hear
She's far away and I know that
She's getting older
I know that it's
Meant to be and my arms
Can't hold her and keep her small
But all that my heart can see
Aaahhh
Is one small girl
In a tree
Ooh way ooh
