They're praying on bended knees
|
In their beds and on the dirty streets
|
Lights are out on all the Christmas trees
|
Feels like everyone's about to freeze
|
Makes me worry
|
Everywhere I look someone's counting on me
|
|
So many people to love
|
And so little time
|
Gotta hurry
|
Big girls and little boys
|
Broken hearts and dreams destroyed now
|
They need me to make it better
|
What's an angel gonna do when she needs some lovin' too?
|
I'm just askin'
|
|
They're using their money up
|
On shiny things no one will ever use
|
And the ones without can't buy a pair of shoes
|
Nothing gentle in the Daily News
|
Makes me worry
|
Everywhere I look someone's counting on me
|
|
So many people to love
|
And so little time
|
Gotta hurry
|
Big girls and little boys
|
Broken hearts and dreams destroyed now
|
They need me to make it better
|
What's an angel gonna do when she needs some lovin' too?
|
I'm just askin'
|
|
Can't find neighbors who are mending fences
|
From the mansions, to the Hamptons, to the Central Park benches
|
City folk wearing all their armor
|
Another St. Nick rings a bell on the corner
|
|
So many people to love
|
And so little time
|
Gotta hurry
|
There are big girls and little boys
|
Broken hearts and dreams destroyed now
|
They need me to make it better
|
|
What's an angel gotta do when she needs some lovin' too?
|
I'm just askin'. askin'
|
I'm just askin'
|
