Hang on little tomato

I saw Pink Martini a couple of times live at the Wolf Trap back when sitting on the grass with a bottle of wine and some cheese to watch a trendy band was something I could do, and they sound as fantastic as the recording version.

Here is a song from them that always comes to mind when baby is crying in the middle of the night. I sang it (and danced) with him in my arms in the kitchen this dawn when I could not do anything else and the house was falling apart while my hair was in disarray and my pijamas were covered in baby vomit.

It worked momentarily. He stopped and stared at me, frowning.

Hang on little tomato song on Youtube

The sun has left and forgotten me
It's dark, I cannot see
Why does this rain pour down
I'm gonna drown
In a sea
Of deep confusion
Somebody told me, I don't know who
Whenever you are sad and blue
And you're feelin' all alone and left behind
Just take a look inside and you will find
You gotta hold on, hold on through the night
Hang on, things will be all right
Even when it's dark
And not a bit of sparkling
Sing-song sunshine from above
Spreading rays of sunny love
Just hang on, hang on to the vine
Stay on, soon you'll be divine
If you start to cry, look up to the sky
Something's coming up ahead
To turn your tears to dew instead
And so I hold on to his advice
When change is hard and not so nice
You listen to your heart the whole night through
Your sunny someday will come one day soon to you
