Lyrics
Sometimes, I hear
Your voice so very distinctly
Sometimes, so far
It fades then is gone like the dawn
Chorus
Little Sir Echo how do you do
Hello, (hello) Hello, (hello)
Little Sir Echo I’m very blue
Hello, (hello) Hello, (hello)
Hello, (hello) Hello, (hello)
Won’t you come over and play (and play)
You’re a nice little fellow
I know by your voice
But you’re always so far away (away)
Chorus
Little Sir Echo you’re very near
Hello, (hello) Hello, (hello)
Little Sir Echo you’re very clear
Hello, (hello) Hello, (hello)
Hello, (hello) Hello, (hello)
Won’t you come over and play (and play)
You’re a nice little fellow
I know by your voice
But you’re always so far away (away)
