(B. Cummings - D. Troiano)
|
|
City lights and the pretty sights beckoned you to roam,
|
Leavin¡¯ now and you¡¯re knowin¡¯ how, you¡¯re on your own,
|
Family and reality seem so far away,
|
Feelin¡¯ fine and the happy times have left you to stay.
|
|
Oh shopping bag lady, asleep on the snow,
|
If you had your fortune, you¡¯d trade it for a kind Hello,
|
Oh shopping bag lady the winter winds blow,
|
Society has forgotten you, there¡¯s nowhere left for you to go.
|
|
Through the tears, all your better years passin¡¯ by so fast,
|
Loneliness is a part of you, and oh how it lasts,
|
No one there, there to really care, the city seems so cold,
|
Yesterday you were just a child, today you¡¯re so old...
|
|
I would love to hold you,
|
Nights when you¡¯re alone and the cold and dark is killin¡¯ you ever so slowly,
|
I would love to love you,
|
Nights when you¡¯re alone, you¡¯re alone.
|
|
I know the days used to be something different for you,
|
I know it¡¯s cold and lonely and it¡¯s misery,
|
I wanna help you, I wanna help you, I wanna help you when you¡¯re down,
|
I wanna look around and find a helping hand for you,
|
Oh no it¡¯s never too late, Oh no it¡¯s never too late to try and help you out,
|
I know you¡¯re cold and it¡¯s misery,
|
I can tell the days used to be something different for you.
