1971 film Melody - Melody Fair (The Bee Gees)

Who is the girl with the crying face
Looking at millions of signs
She know that life is a running race
Her face shouldn't show any lines

Melody fair won't you comb your hair
You can be beautiful too
Melody fair remember you're only a woman
Melody fair remember you're only a girl, Aah

Who is the girl at the windows pane
Watching the rain falling down
Melody life isn't like the rain
It's just like a merry-go-round

Melody fair won't you comb your hair
You can be beautiful too
Melody fair remember you're only a woman
Melody fair remember you're only a girl, Aah
