The Lonely Life

[00:16.41] What if I did not love you
[00:22.94] Where would that leave me?
[00:31.35] Would I wonder through the avenues
[00:37.21] Under a pall of misery?
[00:46.23] Would I be faced down in a gutter
[00:52.72] With cheap whiskey on my breath?
[01:01.55] The lonely life of a writer
[01:07.43] Whose words could not pay his debts
[01:15.46] Singing, please don't, please don't pass me by
[01:22.50] I am alive, oh, can't you see?
[01:26.19] That I've been blinded completely
[01:31.25] Please don't, please don't pass me by
[01:37.28] I am alive, oh, can't you see
[01:40.10] That I am pleading for your mercy?
[01:45.49]
[01:53.95] What if we become strangers
[01:59.54] Would you notice my face in a crowd?
[02:08.74] And could you hear the sorrow in my voice
[02:14.54] Helplessly crying your name out loud?
[02:23.54] Would I be searching for a savior
[02:30.19] Burned and burning with regret?
[02:38.35] The lonely life of a writer
[02:44.31] With one last desperate request
[02:52.47] Singing, please don't, please don't pass me by
[02:59.42] I am alive, oh, can't you see
[03:03.02] That I've been blinded completely?
[03:08.14] Please don't, please don't pass me by
[03:14.26] I am alive, oh, can't you see
[03:17.88] That I am pleading for your mercy?
[03:23.49] I've been on the lam
[03:29.18] Being hunted, so confused
[03:37.53] They say time and tide, it waits for no man
[03:43.32] But I was just hoping
[03:45.89] These storm filled skies would clear
[03:52.39] Please don't, please don't pass me by (please don't, please don't pass me by)
[03:59.61] Please don't, please don't pass me by (please don't, please don't pass me by)
[04:07.31] Please don't, please don't pass me by
[04:13.37] I am alive, oh, can't you see
[04:16.83] That I am pleading for your mercy?
[04:21.87]
