(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.
