"Things Get Lost" was a song intended to be used in the film Barney's Great Adventure. In the original script, the children were ready to give up their hunt for the egg and needed encouragement from Barney. This song would eventually be replaced with the song "We're Gonna Find a Way".

Writing and composition[]

For White, the song was intended to give emotional depth and directly address and recognize that losing things is more traumatic for the very young children due to the thinking that a missing item is "gone forever".

Release[]

"Things Get Lost" was originally titled "Lost Things". The song was originally written in 1990, 1993 and 1997 by Stephen White for the film Barney's Great Adventure, however given the song was never used, White gave the song to Mister K's Clubhouse, a live-action educational children's show, where it would be officially titled "Things Get Lost". White officially premiered the unused song exclusively in Barney History Fans in September 2024.

Lyrics[]

Things get lost,
But please don't lose your pretty smile.
Things get lost,
But only for a little while.
When things get lost,
It doesn't mean they're gone forever.
They're only some place out of sight.
Soon, everything will be alright.
When things get lost,
It doesn't help to cry big tears.
Tears just make it hard to see
Where that special something just might be!
Things get lost,
But please don't let it make you frown.
'Cause if we only look around,
Things get found!
Things get lost,
But please don't lose your pretty smile.
Things get lost,
But only for a little while.
When things get lost,
It doesn't mean they're gone forever.
They're only some place out of sight.
Soon, everything will be alright.
When things get lost,
It doesn't help to cry big tears.
Tears just make it hard to see
Where that special something just might be!
Things get lost,
But please don't let it make you frown.
'Cause if we only look around,
Things get found!
Things get found!
Things get found!
Things get found!
