As Tears Go By

AS TEARS GO BY

                    I sit and reminisce, as tears go by.
                                  Was a confused
                                        little girl
                                          about
                                           two 
                                         young
                                        sisters,
                                    one gave me
                                    and the other
            raised, loved me.  Bitter sweet, as tears go by.

This is deeply sad... Do you know the song by Marianne Faithful called as tears go by?

Yes, Mick Jagger or the Rolling Stones wrote that song for her and she sang and recorded it.... The Rolling Stones recorded it too. I love that song. Thank you for reaching out.
